In some succulent plants like Opuntia the R. Q. is zero because
1 $\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}$ is released without any absorption of ${{\text{O}}_{2}}$.
2 ${{\text{O}}_{2}}$ is absorbed but $\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}$ is not released.
3 there is often compensation point in these plants due to thick phylloclades.
4 none of the above
Explanation:
(b) In succulent plants like Opuntia there is an incomplete oxidation of the carbohydrates resulting in the formation of organic acids. $\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}$ is not released. $2{{\text{C}}_{6}}{{\text{H}}_{12}}{{\text{O}}_{6}}+3{{\text{O}}_{2}}3{{\text{C}}_{4}}{{\text{H}}_{6}}{{\text{O}}_{5}}+3{{\text{H}}_{2}}\text{O}+386\text{kcal}$. R.Q. $=\frac{\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}}{{{\text{O}}_{2}}}=\frac{0}{3}=0$

$2\left( {{\text{C}}_{51}}{{\text{H}}_{98}}{{\text{O}}_{6}} \right)+145{{\text{O}}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}102\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}+98{{\text{H}}_{2}}\text{O}+$ Energy
The R.Q of above reaction is
1 1
2 0.7
3 1.45
4 1.62
Explanation:
(b) The ratio of the volume of $\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}$ liberated to the volume of oxygen absorbed per molecule during respiration is called Respiratory Quotient (RQ). The value of $RQ$ indicates the types of respiratory substrate.
$\text{RQ}=\frac{\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ Volume }\!\!~\!\!\text{ of }\!\!~\!\!\text{ C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ evolved }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }}{\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ Volume }\!\!~\!\!\text{ of }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }{{\text{O}}_{2}}\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ consumed }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }}$
$\text{RQ}=\frac{102}{145}=0.7$
