Assertion : Respiratory pathway is an amphibolic pathway.
Reason : In respiration, there is breakdown of many substances (catabolism) and synthesis of many substances (anabolism) by respiratory intermediates.

A

If both. assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(A) Respiratory pathway in to be better consider as an amphibolic pathway because the respiratory pathway is involved in both catabolism and anabolism.
