Which of the following option is correct for the given statements , X, Y and Z Statements X - R.Q. of fat containng palmatic acid is less than one, whereas R.Q. of glucose is 1
Statement Y - Fat containing palmatic acid need less `O_(2)` for respiration and glucose need more oxygen for respiration
Statement Z - fat containing palmatic acid has much less oxygen in its constituion as compared to glucose.

Options

A. Statement ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ are correct. Statement ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ is the correct explanation for ‘X’
B. Statement ‘X’ and ‘Y’ are correct and the statement ‘Z’ is an incorrect statement, ‘Y’ is the correct explanation for ‘X’
C. Statement ‘X’ and ‘Z’ is correct and the statement ‘Y’ is an incorrect statement, ‘Z’ is the correct explanation for ‘X’
D. Statement ‘X’ and ‘Z’ are incorrect and the statement ‘Y’ is correct

Answer

C

Explanation

Fat contains a fatty acid that has more volume of `O_2` consumed then the volume of `CO_2` evolved.
`2(C_(51)H_(98)O_6)+145O_2 rarr 102 CO_(2)+98H_2O+` Energy
R.Q. = `(102 CO_2)/(145O_2)=0.7`
