Amphibolic Pathway
Amphibolic Pathway: Overview
This Topic covers sub-topics such as Amphibolic Pathway and Interrelation among Metabolic Pathways
Important Questions on Amphibolic Pathway
Statement I: NADH is oxidised to NAD+ rather slowly in fermentation and very vigorously in aerobic respiration.
Statement II: In aerobic respiration, only glucose is oxidised, no other alternative substrates enter in the pathway.

Choose the correct statements.
A) The reactions catalyzed by pyruvate deluydrogenase require several co-enzymes.
B) By two successive decarboxylation reactions, isocitrate is converted to -ketoglutaric acid.
C) Oxidation of respiratory substrate energy is released in bulk and utilized for other reactions.
(D) During the breakdown and synthesis of proteins, respiratory intermediate forma link.
