krebs cycle Flashcards
what feeds into the krebs cycle from the link reaction
acetly COA
what then happens to acetly
coa is released
how is COA released
bond broken between acetyl COA and then recyceled back into the link reaction
what is formed after acetly
citrate
how is citrate formed
from acetly joining oxaloacetate compound
how many carbons are at acetyl
2
ow many carbons are at oxaloacetate
4
how many carbons are at citrate
6
why are there 6 carbons at citrate
becuase the 4 carbon compound of oxaloacetate and the 2 carbon compound of acetyl join to form 6 carbon compound citrate
what is added to citrate
nad
what does the addition of nad to citrate do
oxidasing citrate by nad uses dehydroganase so citrate is dehydrogenated to form a 5 carbon compound
what else happens to citrate
decarboxylated by decarboxylase - remove co2
what forms after citrate
5 carbon compound
what forms after the 5 carbon compound
4 carbon compound
what happens to 5 carbon compound
decarboxylated and dehydrogenated
