Waec Model Questions Vol1 2018 Biology Question 35
Practice objective / multiple choice question 35 from the 2018 Waec Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
An organism oxidises 10 g of carbohydrate (C₆H₁₂O₆) and 5 g of fat (C₅₅H₉₈O₆). Using the stoichiometric equations C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O and CₓHᵧO_z + (x + y/4 - z/2) O₂ → x CO₂ + (y/2) H₂O, calculate the respiratory quotient (RQ = CO₂ produced / O₂ consumed) for this mixed substrate oxidation. Give the RQ to two decimal places.
