TCA Cycle/ Krebs Cycle
Located in the Mitochondrion matrix |
Krebs Cycle Happens Twice For Every Glucose Molecule |
Produces Reduced CoEnzymes and ATP |
Steps 1
Acetyl CoA combines with 4C molecule |
Forms 6C Citrate |
CoA goes back to Link Reaction |
Step 2
6C Citrate converted to a 5C molecule |
Decarboxlyated 1C= CO2 |
Dehydrogenation= hydrogen removed |
Reduced NAD= NAD.2H |
Step 3
5C molecule is converted into a 4C molecule |
FAD coenyme goes to FAD.2H |
NAD goes to NAD.2H |
Some ATP is made |
CoEnzymes
CoEnzymes work in cooperation with enzymes |
Can be used many times over |
Enzymes are biological Catalyst |
Lower activation Energy |
|
|
Important Points
Remaining Carbon Atoms released as CO2 |
Large quantities of Reduced Co Enzymes |
ATP produced |
