Question

Compare and contract between glyoxylate cycle and citric acid cycle

Answer 1

This acetate, bound to the active thiol group of coenzyme A, enters the citric acid cycle (TCA cycle) where it is fully oxidized to carbon dioxide. This pathway thus allows cells to obtain energy from fat. ... Glyoxylate condenses with acetyl-CoA (a step catalyzed by malate synthase), yielding malate.

Answer 2

Hello Dost.!

Glyoxylate condenses with acetyl-CoA (a step catalyzed by malate synthase), yielding malate. ... The net result of the glyoxylate cycle is therefore the production of glucose from fatty acids. Succinate generated in the first step can enter into the citric acid cycle to eventually form oxaloacetate.
