Q.21
In succulents, respiratory quotient is less than one due to … .. [ RPMT 2006]
0%
a) Incomplete oxidation
0%
b) Incomplete reduction
0%
c) Complete reduction
0%
d) Complete oxidation
Explanation
Respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory coefficient is a measurement of the ratio between oxygen (O2) an organism intakes and carbon dioxide (CO2) the organism eliminates, expressed with the formula RQ=CO2 eliminated/O2 absorbed. In succulent plants, the RQ is less than one in the night. This is due to to incomplete oxidation of carbohydrates which leads to production of acids such as malic acid, oxalic acid and in extreme cases, no CO2 is evolved at all. This makes the RQ less than 1. Answer : (a)
