Question

what does rq indicates in human near 0.1​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The respiratory quotient,is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production. It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to oxygen consumed by the body. Such measurements, like measurements of oxygen uptake, are forms of indirect calorimetry. It is measured using a respirometer. The Respiratory Quotient value indicates which macronutrients are being metabolized, as different energy pathways are used for fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.If metabolism consists solely of lipids, the Respiratory Quotient is 0.7, for proteins it is 0.8, and for carbohydrates it is 1.0. Most of the time, however, energy consumption is composed of both fats and carbohydrates. The approximate respiratory quotient of a mixed diet is 0.8.[1] Some of the other factors that may affect the respiratory quotient are energy balance, circulating insulin, and insulin sensitivity.

Answer 2

RQ near 0.1 in human indicates:

• RQ stands for respiratory quotient and it indicates which macro-nutrient is being metabolized.

• There are different values of RQ for different macro-nutrients.

• The respiratory quotient near 0.1 indicates carbohydrates as the value of RQ of carbohydrates is 0.1.  

• The respiratory quotient near 0.1 indicates that carbohydrates are being metabolized in the body.

Hope it helped.....
