It commonly occurs in oil-rich seeds where it powers the growth until photosynthesis can occur.
The presence of this metabolic pathway in the human liver is suggested by the liver's ability to carry out cyanide-insensitive fatty acid oxidation from palmitate. One NADH molecule is produced for every two (*) acetyl groups it processes and unique enzymes along it includes isocitrate lyase and malate synthase. Like the citric acid cycle, it begins with the synthesis of citrate from acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate. It commonly occurs in oil-rich seeds where it powers the growth until photosynthesis can occur. For 10 points, name this metabolic pathway used by plants and bacteria to convert two carbon acetyl groups into four carbon molecules used in gluconeogenesis, allowing them to synthesize glucose from fats.
