When protein is aerobically oxidised, the R.Q. value will be

A

One

B

Zero

C

More than one

D

Less than one

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is the ratio of `CO_(2)` produced to `O_(2)` Consumed during aerobic oxidation of substrate (carbohydrates,fats or proteins).
The value of RQ for proteins substrates is always less than one.
