In aerobic organisms the TCA is amphibolic pathway, one that both srves in the catabolic and anabolic processes. besides its role in the oxidative catabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids, the cycle provides precursors for many biosynthetic pathways

What is an example of an Amphibolic pathway?

The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is an example of an amphibolic pathway. It is involved in both catabolic and anabolic processes, converting acetyl-CoA into ATP through oxidative metabolism and producing intermediates that serve as precursors for biosynthesis.


Where does TCA cycle occur in the cell?

TCA cycle occur in the mitochondria (the power house of the cell)


How many NADH's are generated after one cycle of the TCA?

Two molecules of NADH are generated after one cycle of the TCA (Krebs) cycle.


Is oxygen used in the TCA cycle?

No, oxygen is not directly used in the TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle. The TCA cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria and is primarily involved in generating energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Oxygen is used in the electron transport chain, which is a separate process that follows the TCA cycle and is responsible for the final stages of cellular respiration.


Is the TCA cycle the same as Krebs Cycle?

Yes, the TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle is another name for the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle. These terms are used interchangeably to describe the same metabolic pathway that occurs in the mitochondria of cells, producing ATP and carbon dioxide as part of aerobic respiration.


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 is the name for the cyclic reaction that occurs in aerobic respiration?

Kreb's cycle or TCA cycle


What are anabolic reaction in tca cycle?

Anabolic reactions in the TCA cycle involve the production of intermediates that can be used for the synthesis of molecules such as amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides. For example, oxaloacetate produced in the TCA cycle can be used for gluconeogenesis or for the synthesis of amino acids. These reactions require energy input and are generally biosynthetic in nature.


What is the source of energy produced by the mitochondria?

The TCA cycle for the most part.
