Answer:
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.
