Questions and Answers

The value of RQ (Respiratory Quotient) is infinite.

True (A)

What is the equation for the anaerobic oxidation of glucose?

C_6H_{12}O_6 ightarrow 2CH_3CH_2OH + 2CO_2 + Energy

What is RQ in the context of anaerobic oxidation of glucose?

RQ = rac{CO_2}{O_2} = rac{2}{0} = ext{infinite}

Study Notes

Anaerobic Oxidation

  • Anaerobic oxidation of C₆H₁₂O₆ results in the production of 2CH₃CH₂OH, 2CO₂ and energy.
  • The Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is calculated as the ratio of CO₂ produced to O₂ consumed.
  • In this case, RQ = CO₂ / O₂
  • Given the equation: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 CH₃CH₂OH + 2CO₂ + Energy
  • The value of RQ is calculated as CO₂ / O₂ = 2/0 = infinity
