What is the respiratory quotient for organic acids?(a) More than 1(b) Less than zero(c) Zero(d) Less than one but greater than ZeroThe question was posed to me in unit test.The query is from Respiratory Quotient in division Respiration in Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (a) More than 1

The best I can explain: ORGANIC acids have R.Q value more than ONE. But when PROTEINS are respiratory substrates the RATIO would be about 0.9. Pure proteins or fats are never USED as respiratory substrates.
