Question

Which type of reaction is TCA cycle?

Options

• Anabolic

• Catabolic

• Amphibolic

• None of these

Answer 1

Amphibolic

Explanation:

Because it is both catalytic (two-carbon molecule acetyl-CoA formed from carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism is oxidized to produce C02, H20, and ATP) and anabolic (intermediates are used for the synthesis of different chemicals), the TCA cycle is nicknamed "Amphibolic."
