  • amphibolic
  • C

amphibolic
b
(b) : A biochemical pathway that serves both anabolic and catabolic process is known as amphibolic pathway. The aerobic respiration involves both catabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids and the synthesis of anabolic precursors for amino acid synthesis, various intermediatory metabolic products and secondary metabolites. Thus it is called as amphibolic pathway rather than a catabolic pathway.
