If all the pyruvate is metabolized by the glyoxylate bypass


You are following the metabolism of pyruvate in which the methyl-C is radioactive: *CH3COCOOH. If all the pyruvate is metabolized by the glyoxylate bypass (assume that 50% of the pyruvate enters in the citrate synthase reaction and 50% during the bypass), what would be the labeling pattern and its distribution in the oxaloacetate?
