Question 2
What are respiratory substrates? Name the most common respiratory substrate.
Answer
The compounds oxidised during the process of respiration are called respiratory substrates. Carbohydrates, especially glucose, act as respiratory substrate. Fats, proteins, and organic acids can also act as respiratory substrates depending upon physiological canditech of body of an organism.
