Notes on Respiratory Quotient | Plants

The below mentioned article provides a note on respiratory quotient. During aerobic respiration, oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is released. The ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide given out to the volume of oxygen absorbed in respiration, i.e., CO2/O2 is called respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory ratio RQ = volume of CO2 evolved/volume of O2 consumed The value [...]
