No oxygen is used in TCA cycle. Oxygen comes into play in the electron transport chain.

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.


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.


Where does TCA cycle occur in the cell?

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


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.


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

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are part of which cycle?

While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration.


What is the source of energy produced by the mitochondria?
