Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: Fatty acids would be broken down to acetyl CoA before entering the respiratory
pathway when it is used as a substrate.
Statement II: When the organism needs to synthesise fatty acids, acetyl CoA would be
withdrawn from the respiratory pathway for it.
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
