Different substrates get oxidized during respiration. How does Respiratory Quotient(RQ) indicate which type of substrate i.e. carbohydrate, fat or protein is getting oxidized?
`R.Q. =A/B`
What do A and B stand for ?
What type of substrates have R.Q. of 1, < 1 or > 1?

Thomas Graham in 1861, during his work on diffusion found that certain substances such as gelatin, albumin, glue,etc. Diffused at very low rate and were called colloids. The colloid particles have the size in the range of 1 to 100nm consisting of dispersed phase and dispersion ,( medium. The dispersed phase or dispersion medium may be solid, liquid 6r even a gas. Depending upon the nature of dispersion medium or dispersed phase, 8 types of systems are possible except for a gas dispersed in another gas because the gases are completely miscible with each other. The substances which have strong interaction with the dispersion medium are called lyophilic colloids while those which do not pass into collofdalstate readily are called lyophobic colloids. Lyophobic sols are much less stable and are irreversible. How many types of systems are possible depending upon the nature of dispersion medium?

A colloidal solution is a type of mixture which consists of particles whose size varies between 1 and 1000 nanometres. In colloidal solution the particles are distributed evenly. During this process the particles do not settle down. This is one of the best know thing about colloidal solutions. Properties of colloids and their variation are a well-known area ever since the primitive age. The best example to prove their familiarity with us is that we know from very early times that coagulation of milk results in the formation of curd. Physical properties of colloids 1. The nature of the colloidal solution is heterogeneous i.e. unlike. These solutions dwell with two different phases : • Dispersed medium Dispersed phase. 2. Despite the fact that colloidal dispersions are unlike in description (nature), yet the dispersed fragments are not detectabJe by the human eye. This is due to the microscopic size of the particles in the solution. 3. The colour of the colloidal dispersion is determined by particles in the solution based on their size. The wavelengths of light that is absorbed will be longer ifthe size of the particle is large. 4. As a result of its size, the colloidal fragments can easily be passed through a traditional filter paper. However, these particles can be filtered by using membranes such as animal, cellophane, and ultrafilters. What type of phases of colloidal solutions ?

A manufacturing company makes two types of teaching aids A and B of Mathematics for class XII. Each type of A requires 9 labour hours of fabricating and 1 labour hour for finishing. Each type of B requires 12 labour hours for fabricating and 3 labour hours for finishing. For fabricating and finishing, the maximum labour hours available per week are 180 and 30 respectively. The company makes a profit of ₹ 80 on each piece of type A and ₹ 120 on each piece of type B. How many pieces of type A and type B should be manufactured per week to get a maximum profit ? Make it as LPP and solve graphically. What is the maximum profit per week ?
