Botany-Respiratory Quotient
NEET Botany Respiratory Quotient MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11
Consider a diagram showing the process of aerobic respiration, highlighting the intake of O2 and release of CO2. If the respiratory substrate is a lipid, what would be the most likely respiratory quotient (RQ) value depicted in this scenario?
A
Less than 1
B
Exactly 1
C
Greater than 1
D
Zero
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The respiratory quotient (RQ) value depends on the type of substrate. For lipids, the RQ is less than 1 because they consume more O2 than the amount of CO2 they release.
