The ghooglate cycle in germinating seeds is a pathway that has some similarity to the citric acid cycle. is uses the carbon-based eroducts from the catabolism of fatty acids as the precursors for gluconeogenesis. How can the glyoxylate cycle accomplish this? ◻ It produces an exers of citrate, which is exponed on of the mitodentria. ◻ Its reactions tabe place partly is fle manrix of the misschondly and party in the cytount. ◻ In wes only the castolic problem of enen mentered, warand fath acific ◻ In reactions bypass the decietboylation urps ef the ciric acad cycle. ◻ It prevens the formation of malage, allowing carbon from acruat to flom aubacruare.

The conversion of acetyl-CoA into glucose cannot occur in the citric acid cycle, and contrasts with that of the glyoxylate cycle. This is because: In the TCA cycle, there is no net production of oxaloacetate (OAA), whereas in the glyoxylate cycle there is a net production of OAA. Not enough NADH is produced in the TCA cycle to fuel gluconeogenesis, whereas in the glyoxylate cycle there is. The glyoxylate cycle occurs in the cytosol, where gluconeogenesis can occur. The TCA cycle cannot move intermediates out of the mitochondrion for fueling gluconeogenesis.
