The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration is called as the respiratory quotient [RQ]. Calculate RQ when albumin is used as a respiratory substrate[see the given equation]:
C77H112N2O22S + 77O2 → 63 CO2 + 38 H2O + SO2 + 9 CO(NH2)2

The respiratory quotient:
I: is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide evolved to the volume of oxygen evolved
II: is 1, if carbohydrates are used as respiratory substrates and are completely oxidized
 
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
