Chapter 27, Problem 18P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

RQ value for glucose oxidation and tripalmitoylglycerol should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

RQ (respiratory quotient) value is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the amount of oxygen gas required in respiration process over a fixed period of time. Its value can be zero, less than one, one, and more than one.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The use of RQ measurements of different energy sources during intense exercise should be determined.

Concept introduction:

RQ (respiratory quotient) value is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the amount of oxygen gas required in the respiration process over a fixed period of time. Its value can be zero, less than one, one, and more than one.
