KREBS CYCLE
Sum it up!
● Krebs cycle is the process of oxidizing and
further breaking down two pyruvate molecules
to produce energy.
● In the transition reaction before the Krebs cycle,
acetyl-CoA is formed from pyruvate through
oxidation. CO2 and NADH are also produced in
this stage.
● The series of redox reactions during the Krebs
cycle produces NADH, FADH2, CO2, and GTP.
The CO2 is released into the environment. NADH
and FADH2 are used to produce more ATP in the
electron transport chain. GTP is used to drive
chemical reactions similar to how cells use ATP.
