Q. Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is -

NEETNEET 2019Respiration in Plants

Solution:

Respiratory Quotient (RQ) = $ \frac{\text{Amount of } CO_2 \;\text{ released}}{\text{Amount of } O_2 \text{ consumed}}$
$\underset{\text{ Tripalmitin}}{2(C_{51} H_{98} O_6 ) } + 145O_2 \rightarrow 102 CO_2 \underset{\text{ + Energy }}{ + 98 H_2 O }$
$RQ = \frac{102 \; CO_2}{145 O_2} = 0.7 $
