Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is the ratio of volume of `CO_(2)` evolved to the volume of oxygen consumed per unit time per unit weight . Therefore, `RQ= CO_(2)//O_(2)`.
It is useful in knowing the type of respiration, major transformations and respiratory substrate.
