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 |
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.
