Define R.Q. (Respiratoruy Quotient).Give R.Q., if respiratory substrate is oxalic acid ,tripalmitin and glucose.

Respiratory quotient (RQ) is one in case of:

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?

Write the RQ value of Oxalic acid.

True or False R.Q. for malic acid is less than one.

Define R.Q.What is its significance?

R.Q. of fat is :

If R.Q is less than 1.0 in a respiratory metabolism,it would mean that:

What is meant by R.Q. ?Why does its value differ for differnet substrate?
