Give significance of TCA cycle.
Please provide the answer to the question mentioned above urgently.
Dear Student
1. Major significance of citric acid cycle (TCA) is to act as the final common pathway for the oxidation of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins since glucose, fatty acids and amino acids are all metabolised to acetyl CoA.
2. It provides a precursor compounds for biosynthesis of other biomolecules.
3. This pathway helps in liberating free energy during the oxidation of carbohydrate, lipids and amino acids.
