RQ in anaerobic respiration is

A

0.7

B

0.9

C

unity

D

infinity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In anaerobic respiration, there is no consumption of oxygen and carbon dioxide is produced in most of the cases. Therefore, respiratory quotient is infinity. Carbohydrate is the ususal substrate.
`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6) overset("ZYmase")rarr 2CO_(2) + 2C_(2)H_(5)OH`
`RQ = (2CO_(2))/(Zero O_(2)) =` infinity
