R.Q. for organic acid is
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
R.Q. for organic acid is > 1.
A respiratory quotient is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production.
It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to oxygen consumed by the body. It is measured using a respirometer.
R.Q. of organic acid is more than one it is 1.6 for tartaric acid, and 1.33 for malic acid.
