C) Type of intermediate products formed
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Which knowledge is obtained by knowing the value of R.Q.
A) Type of substrate

Answer 2

Answer:

A) Type of Substrate

Explanation:

• Respiratory quotient (RQ ) is known as the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled by the oxygen inhaled during respiration.

• It is obtained at particular period of time and under certain pressure.
• So, a change in the substrate can bring about change in RQ. Even oxidation state of the given substrate at a given time may be responsible for RQ change.
• Example- Respiratory quotient of carbohydrates is 1.
