Question

During constructive metabolism or regeneration

• A. pH becomes normal
• B. R.Q. increases
• C. Lactic acid decreases
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The process of storing energy in order for the body to maintain itself and grow is referred to as constructive metabolism or anabolism.
Anabolism is the synthesis process which requires energy (ATP). To gain energy, the cell undergoes glycolysis. As a result of glycolysis, there is decrease in the production of lactic acid and also RQ increases. RQ is the respiratory quotient which is calculated as:
RQ = (Volume of carbon dioxide released/ Volume of oxygen consumed)/ per unit time.
Thus, thecorrect answer is option D.
