Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is

Options

A0.9
B0.7
C0.07
D0.09

Correct answer

B. 0.7

Step-by-step solution

Respiratory quotient is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed in respiration over a period of time. Its value can be one, zero, more than 1 or less than one. RQ = Volume of C0 2 evolved/Volume of 0 2 absorbed. RQ of tripalmitin (fat) is 0.7
