The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
The term amphibolic is given to a biochemical pathway that involves both catabolism, i.e., breakdown of some substances and anabolism i.e., synthesis of some substances. In cellular respiration, both anabolism and catabolism occur during oxidation of respiratory substrate to release energy.
