The Krebs cycle is also called the amphibolic pathway because:
1. It functions both in breakdown and synthesis of biomolecules
2. It occurs in both plants and animals
3. It occurs both aerobically and anaerobically
4. It generates both ATP and GTP

The respiratory pathway is called amphibolic because it:
1. Produces CO2 and H2O
2. Involves only breakdown reactions
3. Functions in both anabolism and catabolism
4. Occurs only in mitochondria
