Document Summary
Lecture 5 topic 5a citric acid and glyoxylate cycles (june 15. 6: the citric acid cycle goes by many names, and is commonly referred to as the krebs cycle, the. Tca (tricarboxylic acid cycle), and its acronym, the cac => all three of these refer to the same phenomenon and are used interchangeably in the notes that follow. Metabolic overview of the citric acid cycle: we were introduced to the citric acid cycle at the beginning of this course, appreciating the fact that the. Tca is the central hub25 of our metabolism, for the following two reasons: final common pathway for the catabolism of all types of fuel molecules (degradation of proteins, sugars, and lipids all leads into the cac) Important source of building blocks for the anabolism of many molecules (building various biological polymers requires using intermediates from the citric acid cycle (as precursors) 2: the citric acid cycle is amphibolic (catabolic and anabolic roles in metabolism.
