Want this question answered?
acetyl CoA
2 ATP per glucose molecule is produced in the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)
Two Co2 molecules are produced per citric acid cycle. Since the citric acid cycle occurs twice with every molecule of glucose metabolized, a total of 4 C02 molecules are produces for every glucose molecule
Citric Acid
Pyruvate -> Acetyl CoA -> Citrate which is used by the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.
twice
Type your answer here... A four-carbon molecule
You are probably looking for the "Citric Acid Cycle" sometimes known as the "Krebs Cycle" .
Each turn of the Kreb's cycle must regenerate oxaloacetate.
The oxidation of pyruvic acid into CO2 and water is called Krebs cycle.This cycle is also called citric acid cycle because the cycle begins with the formation of citric acid. Citric acid is a carboxylic acid containing 3 COOH groups. Hence this cycle is also called the tricarboxylic acid cycle or TCA cycle. This cycle occurs only in the presence of oxygen. Hence it is an aerobic process. It takes place in the mitochondria.Pyruvic acid +CoA --------> Acetly CoA +CO2. This reaction is catalysed by a set of enzymes called pyruvic acid dehydrogenase. In this reaction, 2 hydrogen atoms and one CO2 molecule are removed. The 2 hydrogen atoms are accepted by NAD and NAD is converted into NADH.
Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE) Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE)
How is citric acid produced? Good question! citric acid is produced in a cycle called Krebs Cycle. As Pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrion, carbon is removed,forming co2, and electrons are removed, changing NAD+ to NADH. Co-enzyme A joins the 2-carbon molecule, forming acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA then adds the 2 carbon acetyl group to a 4-carbon compound, forming citric acid. Before the Krebs cycle there is the glycolysis cycle. In this cycle the product is the pyruvic acid. So after that the Krebs cycle or the Citric acid cycle starts, which starts off with pyruvic acid. Then the election transport cycle. This might be confusing but if you see a diagram of these cycles, that will help you a lot! hi my name is austin im looking for more firends so if you see this add me on facebook @ sexyzigrat@hotmail.com :)
