All of the statements below about the glyoxylate pathway are true EXCEPT:
The enzymes of the glyoxylate pathway are found in the glyoxysomes.
The glyoxysomes contain all of the enzymes of the citric acid cycle.
The glyoxylate pathway allows plants, yeast, and microorganisms to thrive using acetate as the sole carbon source.
The glyoxylate pathway bypasses the two oxidative decarboxylation reactions of the citric acid cycle.
In the glyoxylate pathway, isocitrate is routed through isocitrate lyase and malate synthase.
The anaplerotic reactions associated with the citric acid cycle are a result of:
The use of many of the citric acid cycle intermediates in biosynthesis.
The oxidative nature of the citric acid cycle.
The decarboxylation reactions of the citric acid cycle.
The production of reduced coenzymes.
The irreversible nature of three citric acid cycle reactions.
