Q. Aerobic respiration is appropriately termed as :
(a) Anabolism
(b) Catabolism
(c) Parabolism
(d) Amphibolism
Solution :
Correct option : D Aerobic respiratory pathway is appropriately called amphibolic pathway. It contains both catabolic and anabolic reactions. The pathway is catabolic because in this pathway, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. It is also anabolic pathway as energy rich ATP molecule is produced during this pathway. These ATP molecules are later used to carry out various reaction. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
