Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphibolic pathways are shared metabolic pathways where anabolic and catabolic reactions are connected by common intermediates. Feedback inhibition is often used to regulate the rates of reactions within these pathways. Although both types of reactions are necessary, they do not occur simultaneously, as the pathways are regulated based on the organism's metabolic and energy needs. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 correspond to amphibolic pathways. Statement 4 is not specific to amphibolic pathways and is a general characteristic of metabolism.
