Which of the two statements together support that respiratory pathway is an amphibolic pathway , (i) Fats breakdown to glycerol and fatty acids, subsequently yields acetyl CoA (ii) In respiration C-C bonds of complex compounds breakdown through oxidation leading to release of energy (iii) Acetyl CoA from respiratory pathway is withdrawn for synthesis of fatty acids (iv) Proteins are degraded by protease to amino acids and enter the respiratory pathway

Fats are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids with a series of chemical reactions occurring in the digestive tract. The fatty acids are then absorbed through the small intestine and enter lacteals. The excess of such fatty acids gets converted into fats and are stored in the adipose tissue present in the subcutaneous layer. Under starvation, the fatty acids are mobilized to be used as energy during cellular respiration. These fatty acids during cellular respiration are first broken down into
