### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Amphibolic Pathway**: - The term "amphibolic" refers to a metabolic pathway that involves both catabolic and anabolic processes. This means that it can function in both breaking down molecules (catabolism) and building up molecules (anabolism). 2. **Catabolic Pathway**: - In the context of respiration, the catabolic pathway involves the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones. For example: - Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose. ...
