Detailed Solution

Statement -I is true - Respiration is junction of catabolic convergence and anabolic divergence.

Breaking down processes within the living organism is catabolism, and synthesis is anabolism. Because the respiratory pathway is involved in both anabolism and catabolism, it would hence be better to consider the respiratory pathway as an amphibolic pathway rather than as a catabolic one.

Statement - II also true - Cellular respiration is mechanism of breakdown of food material to trap energy for synthesis of ATP. This energy will be utilized in different physiological activities .
