Q32 / 200 · NEET 2009 (Screening) · Botany
Aerobic respiratory pathway is appropriately termed
- Acatabolic
- Bparabolic
- Correct answerCamphibolic
- Danabolic
Solution
An amphibolic pathway is a biochemical pathway that serves both anabolic and catabolic processes. An important example of an amphibolic pathway is the Krebs cycle, which involves both the catabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acid and the synthesis of anabolic precursors for amino acid synthesis, eg, $\alpha$-ketogluturate and oxaloacetate.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
