Question 2

What is the formula to calculate the Respiratory Quotient (RQ)?

Accepted Answer

RQ = CO2 produced / O2 consumed

Answer

RQ = O2 consumed / CO2 produced

Answer

RQ = O2 produced / CO2 consumed

Answer

RQ = CO2 consumed / O2 produced

Question 3

What is the typical range of RQ values for the metabolism of lipids?

Accepted Answer

0.7 to 0.8

Answer

0.8 to 1.0

Answer

1.0 to 1.2

Answer

0.9 to 1.1

Question 4

What is the significance of an RQ value below 0.7?

Accepted Answer

It indicates that fats are being metabolized primarily.

Answer

It indicates excess carbohydrate metabolism.

Answer

It means protein synthesis is occurring.

Answer

It signifies anaerobic respiration.

Question 5

Which substrate has the highest respiratory quotient when metabolized?

Accepted Answer

Carbohydrates

Answer

Nucleic acids

Answer

Proteins

Answer

Fats

Question 6

How does the respiratory quotient (RQ) change during prolonged fasting?

Accepted Answer

It decreases as the body shifts to fat metabolism.

Answer

It increases due to muscle breakdown.

Answer

It remains unchanged.

Answer

It becomes negative.

Question 7
