Krebs Cycle
Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle
Final stage of the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids.
Citric acid cycle
Citric acid cycle is the series of biochemical reactions in which the acetyl portion of acetyl CoA is oxidized to carbon dioxide and the reduced coenzymes______ and______ are produced

Product of Oxidation of 2 Pyruvate
2 NADH
Product of Citric Acid Cycle with 2 Acetyl CoA
2 ATP
6 NADH
2 FADH2
Total product of 1 Glucose
