Name 2 other names for krebs cycle
tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle citric acid cycle
Main fxn of the kreb cycle
metabolize Acetyl-CoA for energy release
The Kreb cycle uses _____ for energy release
Acetyl-CoA
Acetyl CoA comes from aerobic catabolism of (3 things)

Carbs
Anarobic catabolism for NRG sources occurs in the _____
cytosol
Aerobic catolism of carbs, FA and AA to form pyruvate occurs in the _____
mitochondria
What two intermediates can be transaminated to form AA
