If an individual is eating a diet in which 25% of their ATP production is a result of utilizing carbohydrates, 50% of their ATP production is a result of metabolizing fats, 25% of their ATP production is a result of metabolizing proteins, their cardiac output is 4.7 L/min, and their arterial-venous oxygen difference is 6.2 mL/dL, how much carbon dioxide are they producing

Oxidative phosphorylation proceeds with the formation of energy laden molecules i.e; carbondioxide and water.

Therefore, Total CO₂ production is directly related to VCO₂ = R x VO₂

where, R is the respiratory quotient varing among 0.7 to 1.0 according to the energy intake (ATP) ie 0.25 of the total diet consumed .

VO₂ is, as mentioned above arterial venous oxygen difference = 6.2ml/dl

therefore, VCO₂ = 0.25 x 6.2

= 1.55 ml/dl

ie; VO₂ : VCO₂ = 6.2 : 1.55.

Explanation:

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
