Question

In respiration, more than one R.Q. value results from the use of (A) glucose (B) sucrose (C) fat (D) organic acid

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Respiratory Quotients (R Q) is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed in respiration over a period of time. Its value is one, zero, more than 1 or less than 0 . RQ slightly more than unity is found when organic acids are broken down as respiratory substrates under aerobic conditions. For example, C 6 H 6 O 5+3 O 2 arrow 4 CO 3+3 H 2 O (Malic acid) R Q=4 CO 2 / 3 O 2 or 1.3
