RQ of malic acid is

Options

  1. A1.9
  2. B1.49
  3. C1.33
  4. D1

Correct answer

C. 1.33

Step-by-step solution

RQ of malic acid is 1.33. Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the volume of CO ₂ produced to the volume of O ₂ consumed in respiration over a period of time. RQ is slightly more than unity when organic acids are broken down as respiratory substrates under aerobic conditions, e.g. malic acid.
