Answer:

The breakdown of the carbohydrates, protein and fat needed for energy is following;

The amino acids that are formed through the process of hydrolysis of protein and it can be used to make new protein. They can also have their amino groups removed and then the remainder of the molecule can be oxidized to provide energy.

Although some amino acids are converted to pyruvate or pyruvic acid. Some are converted into acetyl CoA.
