Removes the carboxyl group, which becomes Carbon Dioxide, from pyruvate
3 of 18
Coenzyme NAD
Accepts the hydrogen atoms
4 of 18
Coenzyme A (CoA)
Accepts acetate, to become acetyl coenzyme A. CoA carries acetate to Krebs cycle

Krebs Cycle
Oxidises acetate to carbon dioxide. NAD and FAD are reduced. ATP is made by Substrate-Level Phosphorylation. Takes place in the Mitoxhondrial Matrix.
7 of 18
The acetate from Acetyle Coenzyme AQ joins with a 4-carbon compound, oxaloacetate, to form 6-carbon compound citric acid. Coenzyme A is released and becomes available to accept more acetate.
Stage 1
8 of 18
Citrate is decarboxylated (one molecule of carbon dioxide is removed) and dehydrogenated (a pair of hydrogen atoms is removed) to form a 5-carbon compound. The pair of hydrogen atoms is accepted by a molecule of NAD, which becomes reduced.
Stage 2
9 of 18
The 5-Carbon compound is decarboxylated and dehydrogenated to form a 4-carbon comound and another molecule of reduced NAD.
Stage 3
10 of 18
The 4-carbon compound is canged into another 4-carbon compound. During this reaction a molecule of ADP is phosphorylated to produce a molecule of ATP. This is substrate-level phosphorylation.
Stage 4
11 of 18
The second 4-carbon compound is changed into another 4-carbon compound. A pair of hydrogen atoms is removed and accepted by the coenzyme FAD, which is reduced.
Stage 5
12 of 18
The third 4-carbon compound is further dehydrogenated and regenerates oxaloacetate. Another molecule of NAD is reduced.
