The Krebs Cycle

• The Krebs cycle is a metabolic pathway that produces energy in the form of ATP.
• It occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of the cell.
• Acetyl-CoA and other intermediates are used to produce ATP.
• The cycle consists of 8 steps, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme.
• The steps include condensation, isomerization, oxidation, decarboxylation, phosphorylation, hydration, and oxidation.
• NADH, FADH2, and CO2 are produced as byproducts.
• The cycle produces ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
• The energy produced is used to drive the metabolic processes of the cell.
• The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle.
• The cycle is important for maintaining the normal functioning of the cell.
