<span>Both the mushroom and the gecko are heterotrophs: they need to acquire their food from other sources. The tree, on the other hand, is an autotroph--it gains most of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis.</span>

Abstract
Down syndrome (DS) is associated with aberrations in genetic, morphological, biochemical and physiological characteristics. A number of genes located on human chromosome 21 (HSA21) encode proteins which are thought to be involved in numerous metabolic pathways, e.g., phosphofructokinase, cystathionine β-synthase etc. Perturbations of the metabolic pathways may lead to altered drug metabolism in DS individuals. We present a review of metabolic aberrations linked to HSA21 genes in DS. We particularly focus on drug disposition, efficacy, sensitivity and toxicity of anti-leukaemic agents including methotrexate, glucocorticoids, anthracyclines and cytarabine in DS leukaemia. The different outcomes of therapy due to differential drug response, varied drug toxicity and treatment related mortality in DS leukaemia is a subject of much research and speculation. Altered drug response in DS individuals may stem from differences in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics. Further large-cohort studies in different age groups dissecting metabolic and molecular pathways involved in drug response may increase our understanding in this regard and stipulate pharmacotherapies in DS.
Answer:
The property of some metabolic pathways that enables them to serve multiple functions in the breakdown, synthesis, and conversion of metabolites is known as <u>amphibolism.</u>
Explanation:
Amphibolic pathways are the biochemical pathways which have both catabolic (breakdown ,conversion to metabolites) and anabolic functions (synthesis)
<u>For example:</u>
- Pentose Phosphate Pathway
- TCA cycle
- Embden-Meyerhof pathway
