Chapter 23.2, Problem 23.1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The advantage in funneling all the catabolic pathways into a single common pathway which is the citric acid cycle needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The citric acid cycle is a part of metabolic pathway that can chemically convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into water and carbon dioxide so as to generate a form of working energy. Other significant reactions which takes place in this pathway are those which occur in glycolysis and the pyruvate oxidation which occurs before the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation takes place after it.
