Respiratory Quotient

Question

When a molecule of Glucose is aerobically oxidized, there is

Easy

A

more liberation of ${CO}_{2}$ than Oxygen consumed
B

less liberation of ${CO}_{2}$ than consumed oxygen
C

equal amount of liberation of ${CO}_{2}$ and consumption of Oxygen.
D

Neither liberation of ${CO}_{2}$ nor consumption of oxygen.

Solution

When Glucose is respiratory substrate of aerobic respiration, there is liberation of 6 ${CO}_{2}$ and consumption of 6 $O_{2}$ . Hence the Respiratory Quotient for Glucose is 1 or unity.
