Discuss “The respiratory pathway is an amphibolic pathway.”

Respiratory pathway is referred to as an amphibolic pathway ?

Assertion : Respiratory pathway is considered as an amphibolic pathway Reason : It involves both anabolism and catabolism.

Assertion :- Respiratory path is an amphibolic pathway rather than as a catabolic one, Reason:- Respiratory pathway is involved in both anabolism and catabolism.

Assertion: Photorespiration is a wasteful process. Reason: In photorespiratory pathway, there is not synthesis of sugars or ATP.

Assertion :- Aerobic respiration yields more energy than anaerobic respiration. Reason:- In aerobic respiration there is complete oxidation of organic substances in presence of oxygen and release all hydrogen and CO_(2) .

Assertion : Glycolysis is also called EMP pathway. Reason : It is the only process of respiration in aerobic organisms.

A : Tricarboxylic acid cycle is an amphibolic pathway. R : A number of TCA cycle intermediates are used in various catabolic reactions only.

Which of the two statements together support that respiratory pathway is an amphibolic pathway , (i) Fats breakdown to glycerol and fatty acids, subsequently yields acetyl CoA (ii) In respiration C-C bonds of complex compounds breakdown through oxidation leading to release of energy (iii) Acetyl CoA from respiratory pathway is withdrawn for synthesis of fatty acids (iv) Proteins are degraded by protease to amino acids and enter the respiratory pathway

Assertion : Lipids provide more energy as compared to carbohydrates on oxidation . Reason : Lipid is the first respiratory substance .
