1.	Question : Complete the formula of respiratory quotient by naming A and B . Also mention what type of substrate has respiratory quotient of 1 and > 1 ? Respiratory Quotient = A/B
Answer» SOLUTION :RESPIRATORY Quotient = `("Volume of " CO_2 " liberated")/("Volume of " O_2 " consumed")` Respiratory Quotient will be equal to unity if the SUBSTRATE is a carbohydrate. Respiratory Quotient will be more than unity if the substrate is an organic ACID.
