If so, why would they switch how they are making energy?
What is Aerobic Respiration?
Aerobic respiration is the main means by which both plants and animals utilize energy in the form of organic compounds that was previously created through photosynthesis

When oxygen is present, aerobic respiration occurs. When oxygen is not present, anaerobic respiration occurs and either alcoholic fermentation or lactic fermentation. Aerobic respiration results in a lot mor ATP (36-38 with 2 pyruvates) then fermentation (1-2) when Nad+is regenerated
Lactic fermentation produces lactase and animals usually use that type of fermentation.
Alcohol fermentation occurs in plants mainly and some bacteria and fungi. Ethanol, a two carbon sugar is produce, along with C02 and Nad+
