@AZ does it look good

No, it doesn't It's not even a proper sentence. Also, it seems that you've switched the inducible/repressible with the anabolic/catabolic pathways This is the best explanation of what an inducible and repressible operon is https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-biology/gene-expression-and-regulation/regulation-of-gene-expression-and-cell-specialization/a/overview-gene-regulation-in-bacteria#:~:text=Some%20operons%20are%20inducible%2C%20meaning,off%20by%20a%20small%20molecule.

AZ:

I don't know if you really need to know which operons are used in which pathways since that's something really advanced But if you do want to include it "Repressible operons are often used in anabolic pathways" https://openwetware.org/wiki/CH391L/S12/Protein_regulators_of_transcription#:~:text=Repressible%20operons%20are%20often%20used,with%20tryptophan%20as%20the%20corepressor and a little later in that same section "Inducible operons are often used in catabolic pathways"
