Solution :-
The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration over a given period is known as a respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory ratio. Its value can be equal to one, zero, more than one or less than one.
When fat or protein is used as a respiratory substrate, the respiratory quotient (RQ) is less than one.
