Question
Chapter 11.5, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
The tricarboxylic cycle (TCA) is an example of the amphibolic pathway, which can carry out both functions of catabolic and anabolic pathways. During the amphibolic pathway, the acetyl-CoA is broken down as oxaloacetate (catabolic process) and produces various precursor molecules that are used as building blocks of amino acid (anabolic process).
