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.
(E) represent to ratio between liberated to absorbed during respiration.

Kreb's cycle is a common pathway for due to which it is also called as the metabolic sink.
