When amino acids are used as respiratory substrates, which of the following is true regarding their entry into the respiratory pathway?
| 1. | All amino acids directly enter glycolysis. |
| 2. | Amino acids bypass glycolysis and enter directly at complex IV of the ETS. |
| 3. | Amino acids convert directly to glucose before respiration. |
| 4. | Amino acids must first undergo deamination, entering at various stages like pyruvate or acetyl CoA in the Krebs cycle. |
