DE Bio -- Krebs Cycle

What occurs before the Krebs Cycle and after Glycolysis?

Oxidation of pyruvates

How many carbons are in the two pyruvate?

3

What happens to the two pyruvate?

Taxicab: NAD+ becomes NADH
Oxidative decarboxylation
—> CO2

What do the two pyruvates turn into?

1x Acetate

How many carbon in acetate?

2

What happens to the acetate?

Coenzeyme A transforms it

What does the acetate transform into?

Acetyl Co-A

How many carbons in acetyl co-A?

2

What is the Krebs Cycle also known as?

Citric acid cycle

What is the acronym to remember the Krebs Cycle?

Oh, all children know science fascinates me!

What happens to the acetyl co-a?

Combines with oxaloacetate (4-C)

What does the combination of oxaloacetate and the acetyl co-a create?

Citrate (6-C)

What happens to the citrate?

Taxicab: NAD+ —> NADH

Oxidative decarboxylation

—> CO2

What does the citrate become?

Alpha ketoglutarate (5-C)

What happens to the alpha ketoglutarate?

Taxicab: NAD+ —> NADH

Oxidative decarboxylation

—> ATP

What does the alpha ketoglutarate become?

Succinate (4-C)

What happens to the succinate?

Oxidation of succinate
FAD+ —> FADH2

What does the succinate become?

Fumarate (4-C)

What happens to the fumarate?

Rearrange

H2O added

What does the fumarate become?

Malate (4-C)

What happens to the malate?

Oxidation of malate

NAD+ —> NADH

What does the malate become?

Oxaloacetate

What are the outputs of Krebs cycle?

2 ATP, 6 CO2, 8 NADH, 2 FADH2
