NEETBotanyRespiration in Plants
Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Respiratory pathway is an Amphibolic pathway. 2. The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration is called the respiratory quotient. 3. When carbohydrates are used as substrate and are completely oxidised, the RQ will be 1. 4. When fats are used in respiration, the RQ will be about 0.9 while when proteins are Respirator
Options
- AOnly 4 is correct
- Ball are correct except 4
- C1,2,5 are correct
- DOnly 2 and 4 are incorrect
Correct answer
B. all are correct except 4
Step-by-step solution
Respiratory pathway is an Amphibolic pathway. The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration is called the respiratory quotient. When carbohydrates are used as substrate and are completely oxidised, the RQ will be 1. When fats are used in respiration, the RQ will be less than 1 while when proteins are Respiratory substrates the ratio would be 0.9
