Krebs Cycle Overview

Flashcards about the Krebs Cycle

Krebs Cycle

A crucial part of cellular respiration that produces energy (ATP) and electron carriers (NADH and FADH2).

ATP

A form of energy produced by the Krebs Cycle.

NADH and FADH2

Electron carriers produced by the Krebs Cycle that are essential for generating ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Krebs Cycle Role

Provides building blocks for other important molecules like amino acids and nucleotides.

Main Function of Krebs Cycle

To produce energy, stored and transported as ATP or GTP.

Krebs Cycle Intermediates

Required to make other molecules, such as amino acids, nucleotide bases, and cholesterol.
