Question

Use the table provided, when necessary to answer the following questions. Given: A person consumes 13.9 L oxygen/hour and 12.1 L carbon dioxide/hour. What is the respiratory quotient of this person? What does this value imply in terms of substrate utilization? Calculate the kcal expenditure per hour for this person, then determine the basal energy needs for a one day period How does the value for respiratory quotient change from the fed to the unfed states? {Does it increase, decrease, or stay the same? Why?)

Explanation / Answer

52. respiratory quotient = (CO)2 eliminated/ (O)2 consumed

                                  =12.1/13.9

                                  =0.87

53. the respiratory quotient calculated is 0.87, which implies that the person has protein metabolism. but it cannot be determined which particular protein substrate is utilized because of the complexity in which different amino acids are metabolized.

54.
