Assertion (A) is true. The Respiratory Quotient (RQ) for fats is generally less than one.

Reason (R) is also true. Fats do contain low oxygen content compared to carbohydrates, and their oxidation requires more oxygen, leading to a lower RQ.Hence they utilise more oxygen and release less CO2.

A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
