Question

respiratory Quotient

Answer 1

the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide evolved to that of oxygen consumed by an organism, tissue, or cell in a given time.

Answer 2

RESPIRATORY QUOTIENT -;

the oxidation of various organic substance take place in which usually oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is involved is the ratio between volume of these two gasses is called respiratory quotient .

"the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide involved to the volume of oxygen is absorbed in respiration is called respiratory quotient.

$r.q \: = \frac{volume \: of \: co2 \: enolved}{ \: volume \: of \: o2 \: absorbed \: }$

the value of respiratory quotient and depend on the nature of respiratory subtract of the amount of oat oxygen percent in the respiratory subtract and its oxidation respiratory quotient may give some idea about the nature of food substance that is being oxidized in respiration because the belly of respiratory quotient with different food substance generally the value of arku is equals to unity but d value may be less or more than one respiratory quasient is measured by

Gangong 's respirometer .
