Question 26 of 31 ncorrect Map Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry Nelson I Cox MHE/Freeman presented by Sapling Leaming While many metabolic pathways classify as catabolic or anabolic, the citric acid cycle is amphibolic. Select statements that describe amphibolic characteristics of the citric acid cycle. Oxaloacetate is a product of the citric acid cycle and an amino acid precursor. Both oxidation and reduction reactions occur. The citric acid cycle produces oxaloacetate, a substrate for gluconeogenesis Catabolic pathways for several macromolecules involve the citric acid cycle. Both catabolic and anabolic processes occur. Previous Give Up & View Solution Check Answer Next Exit- Hint as starter materials for anabolic pathways.

Explanation / Answer

Citric acid cycle is called as amphibolic , because it connects anabolic and catabolic pathways together. It marks the end of catabolism and start of anabolic pathway.

The correct statements are :

Oxaloacetate is a product of the citric acid cycle and an amino acid precursor.

The citric acid cycle produces oxaloacetate ,a substrate for gluconeogenesis

Both catabolic and anabolic processes occur.
