Cho, lipids and proteins carry di erent amounts of o2 to oxidize. Rq>1 in anaerobic exercise = co2 elimination. Fat: lipids contain fewer o2 atoms to h atoms. Palmitic acid oxidized to co2 + h2o. 16 co2 produced to 23 o2 consumed. Protein: not simply oxidized to co2 and h2o. Urinary nitrogen: 1g of urinary nitrogen excreted for ever 6. 25g of protein metabolized.
