Document Summary
The rq is an indicator what subrostrate your using. Protein isn"t considered in this it is all either fat or carbohydrate. Ffa fatty acids means there no longer bound to a triglyceride. In this example, we used glucose, we used 6 oxygens and we produce 6 co2 and 6h2o and we make a lot of heat an atp. The ratio of co2 produced to o2 consumed is 1 or 6:6. So when your burning pure carbohydrate you know your burning pure carbohydrate if the respiratory quotient that you measured the volume of co2=vo2 and the ratio is 1 you know your burning carbohydrate. When you take a molecule of glucose and you break it into 3 carbon making it into 2 goes through glycolysis. The first step in making co2 is this reaction pyruvate dehydrogenase in which you convert pyruvic acid to acetyl coa and co2 is made there.
