Q. No.The Krebs cycle is often called an "amphibolic pathway" because:
1. It operates only under aerobic conditions.
2. It involves both synthesis (anabolism) and breakdown (catabolism) of biomolecules.
3. It generates \(CO_2, NADH\) and \(FADH_2\) simultaneously.
4. It occurs only in the mitochondria of animals

Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | If fatty acids were to be respired they would first be degraded to acetyl CoA and enter the respiratory pathway. |
| 2. | Glycerol would enter the respiratory pathway after being converted to PGAL |
| 3. | Proteins and amino acids cannot enter the respiratory pathway |
| 4. | Because the respiratory pathway is involved in both anabolism and catabolism, it would hence be better to consider the respiratory pathway as an amphibolic pathway rather than as a catabolic one. |
