Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is:

1. 0.9
2. 0.7
3. 0.07
4. 0.09

Correct answer: 0.7

Solution

Respiratory quotient is the ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed. Tripalmitin is a fat, and fats typically have an RQ around 0.7 because they require more oxygen for oxidation than carbohydrates.
