What is the role of the respiratory pathway in the breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids?
What is the role of the respiratory pathway in the breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids?
Catabolism only
Anabolism only
Both catabolism and anabolism
Neither catabolism nor anabolism
Solution
The respiratory pathway is involved in both the breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids and thus it would be better to consider it as an amphibolic pathway rather than as a catabolic one.
