Study Notes
Krebs Cycle Overview
- The main function of the Krebs cycle is to generate energy for the cell by breaking down acetyl-CoA into carbon dioxide, releasing energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
Glycolysis and Transition Reaction
- When a single glucose completes glycolysis, 2 carbon dioxide molecules are produced in the transition reaction.
Krebs Cycle Reactions
- The end product of Reaction 1 in the Krebs cycle is citrate.
History of the Krebs Cycle
- The Krebs cycle was discovered by Hans Krebs.
- Another name for the Krebs cycle is the citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.
