    Respiratory quotient of carbohydrate is :

    A)  unity           

    B)  greater than unity

    C)  less than unity  

    D)  equal to five

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Respiratory quotient is the ratio of volume of\[C{{O}_{2}}\] released to the volume of \[{{O}_{2}}\] taken in respiration.                 \[R.Q=\frac{Volume\text{ }of\text{ }C{{O}_{2}}\text{ }evolved}{Volume\text{ }of\text{ }{{O}_{2}}\text{ }absorbed}\] R.Q. of carbohydrate = One R.Q. of fats and proteins = Less than one R.Q. of organic acids = More than one R.Q. of succulent plants = Zero R.Q. of anaerobic respiration = infinite.
