Term
| Reactions different from citric acid cycle |
|
Definition
1.isocitrate->succinate+glyoxlate
2.glyoxylate+acetyl-coA->malate |
|
|
Term
| reactions bypassed from tca cycle |
|
Definition
1.formation of alpha-ketoglutarate and co2
2.formation of succinyl-coA and co2
both oxidative decarboxylation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| two molecules of acetyl coA giving rise to one molecule of malate and eventually to oxaloacetate |
|
|
Term
| difference between tca and glyoxylate cycle. |
|
Definition
In tca ,carbon skeletons that enter as acetyl coA are lost in the decarboxylation step.
hence removal of oxaloacetate for glucose production leads to the stopping of tca but in glyoxylate an extra 4 c compound is produced which can be used to make glucose. |
