R.Q. for succinic acid as respiratory substrate under aerobic condition is ___________.
A
(A) 1
B
(B) >1
C
(C) <1
D
(D) 0
Answer
(B) >1
Explanation
Solution
Explanation:
R.Q. for succinic acid as respiratory substrate under aerobic condition is >1.When the organic acids breakdown into respiratory substrates under aerobic conditions, the R.Q. is slightly more than unity. Ex: oxalic acid, malic acid, succinic acid.Hence, the correct option is (B).
