Correct option (a) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
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.
