Question

respiratory quotient is equal to unity in:

Answer 1

Respiratory quotient is equal to unity if carbohydrates are the  respiratory substrate and the respiration is aerobic.

Answer 2

Answer:

If carbohydrates are the respiratory substrate and the respiration is aerobic, the respiratory quotient is equal to one.

Explanation:

• The respiratory quotient is the proportion of oxygen used in respiration over time to carbon dioxide produced during that time. One, zero, more than one, or less than one can be its value.
• RQ equals the sum of the volumes of CO2 evolved and absorbed.
• C6H1206 + 602 → 6C02 + 6H20 RQ = 6C02/602 = 1
• When respiration is aerobic yet the respiratory substrate is either fat or protein, RQ is less than one. For the majority of popular fats, RQ is about 0.7. When fatty seeds germinate, it happens.
• When their stomata are open at night, succulents do not exhale carbon dioxide since this gas is required for carbon fixation. Additionally, they transform carbs into organic acids that use oxygen but don't release carbon dioxide.
