Respiration is oxidation of foods, a catabolic process in living cells which liberate energy for this purpose of liberation of energy the compond used or oxidised is called respiratory substrate. Carbohydrates are preffered as respiratory substrate but some times protein and fat also play the role of respiratory substrate

How do you calculate respiratory quotient?

The respiratory quotient (RQ) is calculated by dividing the volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by the volume of oxygen (O2) consumed during respiration. The formula is RQ = CO2 produced / O2 consumed. RQ values can vary based on the type of substrate being metabolized; for example, carbohydrate metabolism typically has an RQ of 1.0, while fat metabolism has an RQ around 0.7. This measurement helps to assess metabolic processes and substrate utilization in the body.
