Where does the citric acid cycle occur?
The mitochondrial Matrix
How does The citric acid cycle form energy?
By passing electrons on to form NADH and FADH2
What is Acetyl CoA formed from?
Pyruvate and fatty acids
What does one turn of the Citric Acid Cycle form?
3 NADH, 2 CO2, 1 FADH2 and 1 GTP
Where does the electron transport chain occur?
In the mitochondrial matrix and in the intramembranous space
What does the first carrier reduce?
NADH
What does the first carrier pass the electrons on to?
Ubiquinone to give Ubiquinol
What does the second carrier reduce?
FADH2
What does the second carrier pass electrons onto?
