Question
R.Q. is more than one when the substrate is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Organic acid
R.Q. or Respiratory Quotient is the ratio of volume of carbon dioxide released to the oxygen absorbed to produce energy. R.Q. value of organic acids is greater than one because they already have a good amount of oxygen in their molecule that can be oxidised which decreases the requirement of external O2. So, correct the answer is 'Organic acid'.
