If volume of `CO_(2)` liberated during respiration is more than the volume of `O_(2)` used, then the respiratory substrate will be

A

carbohydrate

B

fat

C

protein

D

organic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
RQ slightly more than unity is found when organic acids are broken down as respiratiory substrates under aerobic conditions, e.g., for breakdown of oxalic acid,
`RQ = (4CO_(2))/(O_(2)) = 4.0`
