Which of the following metabolic pathways is considered amphibolic?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The citric acid cycle is considered amphibolic because it is both catabolic (breaking down molecules for energy) and anabolic (using the energy and building blocks to synthesize other molecules). It is involved in both the breakdown and synthesis of various biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, fatty acids, and amino acids. The other pathways listed (anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic glycolysis, and gluconeogenesis) are primarily catabolic or anabolic, but not both.
