Assertion (A): In the respiratory pathway, different substrates would enter if they were to be respired and used to derive energy.
Reason (R): Fatty acids would be broken down to acetyl CoA before entering the respiratory pathway.
Choices for Assertions and reasons:
1.
Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
