Unlike plant cells, animal cells lack the glyoxylate enzymes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The glyoxylate cycle is a metabolic pathway in plants and some microorganisms that allows them to convert stored lipids into carbohydrates. This cycle involves two key enzymes, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase, which are not found in animal cells. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B refers to enzymes involved in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis and not relevant to animal cells. Option C refers to enzymes involved in the citric acid cycle, which animal cells do have. Option D refers to enzymes involved in the citric acid cycle as well and is not relevant to the glyoxylate cycle.
