Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The glyoxylate cycle is a metabolic pathway found in plants, bacteria, and yeast but not in animals. In this cycle, two acetyl CoA molecules are converted into succinate which can be further metabolized to produce glucose. Animals cannot perform the glyoxylate cycle, and therefore do not use this pathway to produce glucose.
