Question

Discuss the different routes that one can enter the Citric Acid Cycle

Answer 1

I The answer to the question is as follows Pyruvate does not directly goes into the THCA cycle , it must undergo several changes I to become acetyl co . Then acetyl CoA Ton conversion to oxaloacetate enters the Icitric acid cycle. These are routes to Tenter Citric acid cycle. TCA cycle yields 3 NADH , 1 FADH₂ and T1 GTP, NADH is fed into the electron transport pathway Succinyl phosphate GTP by Synthase COA with yield action of GDP and an in organic succinate, COA-SH and enzyme succinyl - Cod Oxaloacetate is the citric cycle intermediate 9t can also function as substrate for Igluconeogenesis . The principal substrate for gluconeogenesis are amino acid, glycerol and lactate
