Citric acid cycle

Step 1 for citric acid cycle

acetyl joins to a C4 molecule to make a C6 molecule (citric acid)

Step 2 citric acid cycle

CoA returns to prep rxn

step 3 citric acid cycle

requires O2

NAD+àNADH,

CO2 oxidized (2x)

(as in prep rxn)

Step 4 citric acid cycle

ATP is created as seen in glycolysis

Step 5 citric acid cycle

Original C4 is restored

Also created:

1 ATP, 1 FADH2, 3 NADH

How many of these have we created?
