Question

What is RQ? Name the respiratory substrate whose RQ level is 1 ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The volume of carbon dioxide released to the volume of oxygen consumed during aerobic respiration/respiration is called RQ. Glucose or carbohydrate.

Answer 2

Respiratory quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide released to the volume of oxygen taken in respiration in the given period of time at standard temperature and pressure.

• RQ = CO2 eliminated / O2 consumed.

The carbohydrates have equal numbers of carbon and oxygen in their molecules.
