Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- The Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed during metabolism. For different substrates, the RQ value varies.
For tripalmitin, which is a type of fat, the RQ value is typically around 0.7. This is because fats generally have a lower RQ compared to carbohydrates, which have an RQ of around 1.0.
