Question
Aerobic respiratory pathway is appropriately termed
-
catabolic
-
parabolic
-
amphibolic
-
anabolic
Solution
C.
amphibolic
An amphibolic pathway is a biochemical pathway that serves both anabolic and catabolic processes. An important example of an amphibolic pathway is the Kerbs cycle, which involves both the catabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acid and the synthesis, eg alpha-ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate.
