What necessitates the glyoxylate cycle? How does it work to circumvent this problem?

please explain with simple answer.

Solution

The glyoxylate cycle, a different version of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, is an pathway occurring in plants, bacteria, protists, and fungi. The glyoxylate cycle centers on the conversion of acetyl-CoA to succinate for the synthesis of carbohydrates. Lower organisms use this pathway for the generation of carbohydrates

Organisms lacking a functional glyoxylate cycle need to compensate this defect by taking up sufficient sources of sugars and amino acids to keep their cellular growth and cell division.
