Stage 2: Kreb's Cycle ( citric acid cycle )

Now because of the link reaction what can enter the mitochondria

acetyl CoA

What will the acetyl CoA bind to

Bind to a 4-C molecule known as oxaloacetate

What will the krebs cycle do to the new molecule and reduce to what

Will strip the new molecules of electrons and H+; that will reduce onto NADH and FADH2

What other products are produced during the reducing production

CO2 and ATP

What will the original oxaloacetate

It will regenerate; this allows this stage of cellular respiration to repeat

What are its products

2 ATP

6 NADH

2 FADH2

4 CO2
