Study Notes

Citric Acid Cycle Products

The final product of the citric acid cycle is oxaloacetate, which is regenerated to start the cycle again.
Four molecules of reduced electron carriers are produced: 3 NADH and 1 FADH₂.
The citric acid cycle also generates two molecules of carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

Alternative Name

The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

Citric Acid Cycle Function

The main function of the citric acid cycle is to oxidize acetyl-CoA, derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, to produce ATP, reduced electron carriers (NADH and FADH₂), and carbon dioxide.

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex plays a crucial role in converting pyruvate, a product of glycolysis, into acetyl-CoA.

Entry Point

Acetyl-CoA serves as the main entry point for fuel molecules into the citric acid cycle.
