NEET Botany Respiratory Quotient Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Hard-Class 11
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) RQ = 1 | (i) Protein oxidation |
| (b) RQ > 1 | (ii) Lipid oxidation |
| (c) RQ < 1 | (iii) Carbohydrate oxidation |
| (d) RQ = 0.7 | (iv) Incomplete combustion |
A
a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
B
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
C
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
D
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The respiratory quotient (RQ) is equal to 1 during carbohydrate oxidation, as equal volumes of CO2 and O2 are exchanged, aligning with the definition provided in the NCERT context. RQ values greater than 1 can occur during lipid oxidation while those less than 1 generally correspond to protein oxidation or incomplete combustion.
