Overview and steps of the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

The citric acid cycle, always active to varying degrees, is crucial for ATP production. Acetyl-CoA enters the cycle, undergoes oxidations, and exits as carbon dioxide, producing FADH2 and NADH.

Citric acid cycle. The acetyl CoA made in the last step combines with a four-carbon molecule and goes through a cycle of reactions, ultimately regenerating the four-carbon starting molecule.

In this video, we explore the Krebs Cycle—the second stage of aerobic respiration that takes place in the mighty mitochondria! Created by Bitasta Datta.

Two net ATP are made in glycolysis, and another two ATP (or energetically equivalent GTP) are made in the citric acid cycle. Beyond those four, the remaining ATP all come from oxidative phosphorylation.

The citric acid cycle captures the energy stored in the chemical bonds of acetyl CoA (processed glucose) in a step-by-step process, trapping it in the form of high-energy intermediate molecules.

The Krebs cycle (or citric acid cycle) is a part of cellular respiration. It is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation .

Entry into the citric acid cycle is largely controlled through pyruvate dehydrogenase (above), the enzyme that produces acetyl CoA. However, there are two additional steps in the cycle that are subject to …
