    Respiratory Quotient (R.Q.) is defined as:

    A)  vol. of\[{{O}_{2}}\] /vol. of\[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)  vol. of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] /vol. of\[{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  vol. of \[{{O}_{2}}\] /vol. of \[{{N}_{2}}\]

    D)  vol. of\[{{N}_{2}}\]/vol. of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     During the process of aerobic respiration oxygen is consumed and carbondioxide is released. Respiratory Quotient (R.Q) can be defined as the ratio between the volume of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]released and\[{{O}_{2}}\]consumed by the respiratory substrate \[R.Q.=\frac{Volume\text{ }of\text{ }C{{O}_{2}}\text{ }released}{Volume\,of\,{{O}_{2}}\,consumed}\]
