Question

discuss the Respiratory pathway ia an amphibolic pathway'​

Answer 1

Answer :

$\bigstar$ Respiration involves breakdown of respiratory substrates, the compounds formed as a result of breakdown enter different pathways for synthesis of various compounds.

$\bigstar$ Fatty acids are broken down to acetyl CoA before entering the respiratory pathway, when it is the respiratory substrate.

$\bigstar$ But when the organism requires to synthesize fatty acids, acetyl CoA would be withdrawn from the respiratory pathway.

$\bigstar$ When proteins are the respiratory substrates, amino acids are deaminated to form pyruvic acid which enters the respiratory pathway.

$\bigstar$ Pyruvic acid from respiratory pathway is the raw material for the manufacture of amino acids.

Since respiratory pathway involves anabolism as well as catabolism, it is known as amphibolic pathway.
