The value of respiratory quotient is infinite during anaerobic respiration .Give reason. Explain with proper equations and RQ values . Plzz experts help !!!
Respiratory quotient is defined as the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide released to the volume of oxygen consumed in respiration over a period of time.
During anaerobic respiration, there is no consumption of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is produced in most of the cases. Hence, respiratory quotient is infinity.
