Answer:
If hexose is the sugar which is used as respiratory material, the carbon dioxide hexose ratio in aerobic respiration should be 1-48. In anaerobic respiration the ratio should be 0-48.
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
/O 2
is called respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory ratio. in anaerobic respiration, CO2 is evolved but O2 is not consumed, and therefore RQ is infinite (∞).
Equation is as follows:
C 6 H 1 2O 6
→ 2C 2 H 5 OH + 2CO 2 + energy
RQ CO 2 /O 2
= 2/0 = infinity
So the correct option is 'infinity'.
