ANSWER
The respiratory quotient depends on the type of respiratory substrate which is to release energy for the synthesis of ATP. If the respiratory substrate is a lipid, it consists carbon-hydrogen bonds mean more ATP is produced from them in respiration. This also means more oxygen is required to break them down, so has an RQ of less than one and if the substrate is glucose the RQ is 1.
So the correct option is 'Respiratory substrate'.
