Question

Difference between tca cycle and glyoxylate cycle

Answer 1

The citric acid cycle is the common mode of oxidative degradation in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. It is the aerobic oxidation of pyruvate that takes place in the mitochondria. Also known as tricarboxylic acid cycle andKrebs cycle. The citric acid cyclebegins with a compound called acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA).

Answer 2

hi there...!!

Fatty acids from lipids are commonly used as an energy source by vertebrates via degradation by beta oxidation into acetate molecules. 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. To utilize acetate from fat for biosynthesis of carbohydrates, the glyoxylate cycle, whose initial reactions
