What is the correct term to describe the respiratory pathway's involvement in both catabolism and anabolism?
  1. Catabolic pathway
  2. Anabolic pathway
  3. Amphibolic pathway
  4. Synthetic pathway

Solution

Because the respiratory pathway is involved in both anabolism and catabolism, it would hence be better to consider it as an amphibolic pathway rather than as a catabolic one.
