While determining power inputs of a patient’s organism it was established that the respiratory coefficient equaled 1.0. This means that in the cells of the patient the following substances are mainly oxidized:
- A. Proteins and carbohydrates
- B. Proteins
- C. Fats
- D. Carbohydrates and fats
- E. Carbohydrates
Hint
Recall how the respiratory coefficient is calculated and compare the typical values for the three main nutrient classes.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
