Question

Respiratory quotient may be represented as (A) O2 taken in /CO2 evolved (B) CO2 evolved/O2 taken in (C) O2 taken in (D) CO2 taken in

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

During aerobic respiration, O2 is consumed and CO2 is released. The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration over a period of time is called as respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory ratio. RQ = ( textVolume of CO2 evolved/ textVolume of O2 consumed )

Q. Respiratory quotient may be represented as

$O_{2}$ taken in $/ C O_{2}$ evolved

$C O_{2}$ evolved $/ O_{2}$ taken in

$O_{2}$ taken in

$C O_{2}$ taken in

O2​ taken in /CO2​ evolved

CO2​ evolved/O2​ taken in

O2​ taken in

CO2​ taken in
