question 83

Multiple Choice

The glyoxylate cycle in germinating seeds is a pathway that has some similarity to the citric acid cycle. It uses the carbon-based products from the catabolism of fatty acids as the precursors for gluconeogenesis. How can the glyoxylate cycle accomplish this?

• A) It produces an excess of citrate, which is exported out of the mitochondria.
• B) Its reactions take place partly in the matrix of the mitochondria and partly in the cytosol.
• C) It uses only the catabolic products of even-numbered, saturated fatty acids.
• D) Its reactions bypass the decarboxylation steps of the citric acid cycle.
• E) It prevents the formation of malate, allowing carbons from acetate to form oxaloacetate.
