Question

In case of anaerobic respiration, the RQ is  (A) Always less than one (B) Always more than one (C) Always infinity (D) Variable on the basis of substrate

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In anaerobic respiration there is no consumption of oxygen and carbon dioxide is produced in most of the cases,
e.g.,

C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} Zymase 2 C O_{2} + 2 C_{2} H_{5} O H

As

R . Q = \frac{Volume of C O _{2} evolved 2 C O _{2}}{infinity}

= \frac{2 C O _{2}}{O} =

infinity
Therefore, the respiratory quotient is infinity

Q. In case of anaerobic respiration, the RQ is ___________

Always less than one

Always more than one

Always infinity

Variable on the basis of substrate

In anaerobic respiration there is no consumption of oxygen and carbon dioxide is produced in most of the cases, e.g., C6​H12​O6​ Zymase​2CO2​+2C2​H5​OH As R.Q= infinityVolume of CO2​ evolved 2CO2​​ =O2CO2​​= infinity Therefore, the respiratory quotient is infinity
