Respiratory Quotient: RQ is the sum of carbon dioxide produced by an organism in a given time divided by the sum of oxygen consumed at the same time. Different respiratory substrates the organic substance that is used to produce respiration different values for the respiratory quotient.
RQ= Amount (Volume) of carbon dioxide evolved
Amount (Volume) of oxygen absorbed
RQ = 2co2 = Infinity (R)
oo2
The ratio of the amount (volume) of carbon dioxide released to the volume of oxygen consumed by a living body tissue or an organism in a given duration.
In our next blog we shall learn about polar covalent bond definition I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
