During prolonged fasting, in what sequence are the following organic compounds used up by the body ?

1. First carbohydrates, next proteins and lastly lipids

2. First proteins, next lipids and lastly carbohydrates

3. First carbohydrates, next fats and lastly proteins

4. First fats, next carbohydrates and lastly proteins

When proteins are used as respiratory substrates, the respiratory quotient would be about:
1. 1.2
2. 1.0
3. 0.9
4. 0.7

RQ (Respiratory Quotient) is defined as

(1) $\mathrm{Volume} \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{CO}}_2 \mathrm{evolved} = \mathrm{Volume} \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{O}}_2 \mathrm{consumed}$

(2) $\frac{\mathrm{Volume} \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{O}}_2 \mathrm{consumed}}{\mathrm{Volume} \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{CO}}_2 \mathrm{evolved}}$

(3) $\frac{\mathrm{Volume} \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{CO}}_2 \mathrm{evolved}}{\mathrm{Volume} \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{O}}_2 \mathrm{consumed}}$

(4) $\frac{\mathrm{Volume} \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{O}}_2 \mathrm{evolved}}{\mathrm{Volume} \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{CO}}_2 \mathrm{consumed}}$

Respiratory Quotient

Respiratory Quotient is

The value of respiratory Quotient actually depends upon

For the substrate Glucose, how many Oxygen are used and how many Carbon-dioxide are evolved?

Tripalmitin

Which of the following is wrong?

How many Carbon-dioxide are evolved in respiration of two molecules of Tripalmitin?

RQ is 0.7; it can be
