Maximum amount of energy/$ATP$ is liberated on the oxidation of:

Which of the following substrates can enter into the respiration process?

The maximum amount of energy / $ATP$ is released during the oxidation of which of the following?

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$ - $A$ stepwise release of chemical bond energy facilitates the utilization of a relatively higher proportion of that energy in $ATP$ synthesis.
Statement $II$ - Due to stepwise oxidation of respiratory substrate,the same pathway may be used for synthesis of another biomolecule.
In light of above statements,select the correct answer from the options given below.

From the oxidation of one molecule of palmitic acid (fatty acid),the number of $ATP$ molecules gained as net are

The link between glycolysis,the Krebs cycle,and the $\beta$-oxidation of fatty acids/carbohydrate and fat metabolism is ...........
