sequence of reactions. The cycle consumes acetate (in the form of acetyl-CoA) and water and reduces NAD+ to NADH, releasing carbon dioxide. The NADH generated

interconversion of carbon dioxide and carbonic acid is related to the breathing cycle of animals and the acidification of natural waters. In biochemistry and physiology

microorganisms, the glyoxylate cycle allows cells to use two carbons (C2 compounds), such as acetate, to satisfy cellular carbon requirements when simple sugars

Several forms of biochemistry are agreed to be scientifically viable but are not proven to exist at this time. The kinds of living organisms known on Earth

the cell cycle. Amino acids also contribute to cellular energy metabolism by providing a carbon source for entry into the citric acid cycle (tricarboxylic

salt, which is excreted in solid form. Further, the urea cycle consumes acidic waste carbon dioxide by combining it with the basic ammonia, helping to
