Study Notes

Cellular Respiration

The second stage of cellular respiration is called the Krebs cycle (or citric acid cycle).

The Krebs Cycle

Pyruvic acid is broken down into Acetyl-CoA during the Krebs cycle.
The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle.
The Krebs cycle takes place within the mitochondria, specifically in the mitochondrial matrix.

Acetyl-CoA Formation

When acetic acid is joined to coenzyme A, it forms Acetyl-CoA.

Pyruvic Acid During the Krebs Cycle

During the Krebs cycle, pyruvic acid is broken down into Acetyl-CoA, which then enters the cycle.

Citric Acid Cycle Process

When acetyl-CoA hands off the 2-carbon acetyl group during the Krebs cycle, citric acid is formed.

Krebs Cycle Initiation

The Krebs cycle begins within the mitochondrial matrix, where Acetyl-CoA is formed from pyruvic acid.
