RQ in anaerobic respiration is

Question

RQ in anaerobic respiration is (A) 0.7 (B) 0.9 (C) unity (D) infinity

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In anaerobic respiration, there is no consumption of oxygen and carbon dioxide is produced in most of the cases. Therefore, respiratory quotient is infinity.
Carbohydrate is the usual substrate.

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

R Q

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

or infinity.
