The Kreb’s cycle occurs in the ——
mitoochondria, in the spaces around the cristae.
The pyruvates are made_
in glycolosis and are shuttled into the mitochondria with a transport proteins.
The purpose of the Kreb’s cycle is…
to make electron carriers to be used in the electron transport chain.
Carbon Dioxide is…
a byproduct of this step.
In order for the 2 carbon molecule known as ___ to enter the Kreb’s Cycle ___ must bond to it
Acetate, Coenzyme A (CoA)
When acetate and coenzyme A bond…
it forms Acetyl CoA
As soon as acetate enter the cycle, .
Coenzyme A detaches and is ready for another acetate
For 1 pyruvate
1 ATP, 4 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 3 CO2
For 2 pyruvates
2 ATP, 8 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 6 CO2The
Kreb’s cycle must turn ___ to break down both the pyruvates made in glycosis, so to break down one glucose molcules the cycle turn ___
twice, twice
