Botany-Respiratory Quotient
NEET Botany Respiratory Quotient Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Easy-Class 11
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Carbohydrates (i) RQ = 0.7 (b) Fats (ii) RQ = 1.0 (c) Proteins (iii) RQ = 0.8 (d) Complete oxidation (iv) RQ > 1.0
Choose the correct matching:
A
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
C
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
D
a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Carbohydrates have a respiratory quotient (RQ) of 1.0 when completely oxidized, as equal amounts of CO2 and O2 are involved. Fats typically have a lower RQ, and proteins have a varied RQ depending on their breakdown. This reflects the dependency of RQ on the type of substrate used in respiration.
