Consider the two statements:
Statement I:  The respiratory pathway is better regarded as an amphibolic pathway rather than only a catabolic pathway.
Statement II:  The respiratory pathway is involved in both anabolism and catabolism.
 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II explains Statement I
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Consider the following statements:
I: If fatty acids were to be respired, they would enter the respiratory pathway as acetyl CoA.

III: Amino acids enter the respiratory pathway at some stage within the Krebs cycle but never as pyruvate or acetyl CoA.
1. Only II is incorrect
2. Only III is incorrect
