Respiratory quotient (RQ) can help us to calculate substrate oxidation?
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The given answer is true because respiratory quotient (RQ) is a measure of the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed during respiration. By measuring RQ, we can determine the type of substrate being oxidized for energy production. Different substrates such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins have different RQ values. Therefore, RQ can be used to calculate substrate oxidation by analyzing the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed.
