The glyoxylate cycle is a crucial biochemical pathway found in certain organisms, such as plants, bacteria, and fungi, that enables the conversion of fatty acids into carbohydrates. It allows these organisms to bypass the decarboxylation steps of the citric acid cycle, facilitating the synthesis of glucose from acetyl-CoA. This cycle is particularly important during seed germination, where it helps in mobilizing stored lipids for energy and carbon sources. Overall, the glyoxylate cycle plays a key role in energy metabolism and carbon assimilation in specific metabolic contexts.

What is anaploretic?
It means "Filling up"... If we are talking about the TCA cycle, which I am assuming we are. A set of reactions, one of which is the glyoxylate cycle supports the TCA cycle with intermediates that are used in making other molecules, therefore filling in the intermediate that were used in other reactions. For example, Citrate is used to make Fatty Acids and Cholesterol. When citrate is pulled from the TCA cycle to make these molecules fewer citrate molecules will go through the TCA cycle making less succinate and there for less oxaloacetate. The glyoxylate cycle makes up for this deficit by making succinate, fumarate, and malate which will proceed to complete the TCA cycle.

What do peoxisomes do?
If you mean peroxisomes, in animal cells they carry the enzymes needed for biosynthetic pathways, metabolic pathways, and detoxification. In some plant cells they are called glyoxysomes and carry enzymes for glyoxylate cycle.
Where does glyoxylate pathway occur?
The glyoxylate pathway occurs in the peroxisomes of eukaryotic cells and in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. It is a metabolic pathway that allows some organisms to convert fatty acids into carbohydrates for energy production.

What does the ocean role in the water cycle?
Oceans have important role. It is a part of water cycle.
What is mans role in the water cycle?
Man has no role in the water cycle. Neither can the duplicate it.
What role does vegetation play in the water cycle.?
The vegetation's role in the water cycle is cooling the heat of the rain
Why does the water cycle play an important role in the environment?
The water cycle plays an important role in the environment. This cycle recycles the water in the system for the plants and animals.
What role does the ocean play in the water cycle?
a huge role
The sun plays only a minor role in which cycle?
the nitrogen cycle!!
