Question

The given graph shows respiratory quotient (RQ) of five substrates.\ Select the option that correctly identifies substrates P , $Q, R, S$ and $T$.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(c) : Respiratory quotient is equal to unity if carbohydrate is respiratory substrate. RQ is 0.7 when fats (triolein, tripalmitin, etc.) are respiratory substrates. RQ is 0.9 when proteins are respiratory substrates. RQ is zero when succulents convert carbohydrates to organic acids. RQ is more than unity when organic acid are respiratory substrates.
