Krebs Cycle

?
What do 2 molecules of pyruvate form to enter the Krebs Cycle?
2 molecules of acetyl coA
1 of 7
How many enzyme controlled steps are there?
8
2 of 7
What does acetyl coA add its 2 carbons to ad what is the product?
It adds the 2 carbons to oxaloacetate to form citrate
3 of 7
What is citrate converted to and how?
Its isomer, isocitrate, by removing one water molecule and adding another
4 of 7
What happens to isocitrate?
It is oxidised, reducing NAD and losing a molecule of CO2
5 of 7
What molecule is produced by the oxidation of isocitrate?
α-ketoglutarate
6 of 7
What happens to α-ketoglutarate?
Another CO2 is lost, and the resulting compound is oxidised, reducing NAD. This molecule is then attached to coenzyme A, forming succinyl CoA
