<prompt> Respiratory quotient after heavy carbohydrate meal is:11.20.80.7  <response>: Ans. A. 1 Respiratory quotient is defined as CO2 eliminatedO2 consumed. For glucose, with the molecular formula, C6 H12 O6 , the complete oxidation equation is C6 H12 O6 6O2 -6CO2 6H2 O. Thus, the RQ6CO2 6O2 1. Insulin, which increases lipid storage and decreases fat oxidation, is positively associated with increases in the respiratory quotient. A positive energy balance will also lead to an increased respiratory quotient.Name of the food stuffRespiratory quotientCarbohydrates1Proteins0.8-0.9Fat0.7Oxalic acid4.0Mixed diet0.8Malic acid1.33
