Q
- Each pyruvate from glycolysis is converted to Acetyl-CoA, which enters the cycle.
- Acetyl-CoA combines with
oxaloacetate to form citrate, which undergoes a series of reactions, releasing CO₂, generating NADH and FADH₂, and producing a small amount of ATP. - This cycle runs twice per
glucose molecule (since
glycolysis produces two
pyruvate molecules).
