A metabolic pathway that involvs both anabolism and catabolism.

In aerobic organisms the TCA is amphibolic pathway, one that both srves in the catabolic and anabolic processes. besides its role in the oxidative catabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids, the cycle provides precursors for many biosynthetic pathways

Amphibolic pathways can serve either in energy-yielding catabolic or in energy requiring biosynthetic processes, depending on the cellular circumstances. For example, the citric acid cycle generates NADH and FADH2 when functioning catabolically. But it can also provide precursors for the synthesis of such products as glutamate and aspartate (from a-ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate, respectively), which in turn serve as precursors for other products, such as glutamine, proline, and asparagine
