Derive the respiratory quotient for carbohydrate as substrate in oxidative metabolism.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The respiratory substrate is a carbohydrate, it will be completely oxidised in aerobic respiration and the value of the RQ will be equal to unity.
`underset(Glucose)(C_(6)H_(12)6O_(2)rarr6CO_(2)uarr+6H_(2)O+"Energy"`
` RQ " of glucose "} = ( 6 " molecules of "CO_(2) ) /( 6 " molecules of " O_(2))`
` = 1 `( unity )
