citrus acid
A 6 carbon compound formed during the Krebs cycle is citrate. It is the first product formed in the cycle when acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate.
oxaloacetic acid
Sodium and potasium
carbon dioxide
Citric acid is formed in the Krebs cycle when oxaloacetate, a four-carbon compound, combines with acetyl-CoA, a two-carbon compound derived from pyruvate. This condensation reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase, resulting in the formation of citric acid as the first intermediate in the cycle.
It is true that the compound that joins with a 4-carbon molecule in the krebs cycle is called acetyl-CoA. It is also known as Acetyl coenzyme A.
Krebs cycle
The series of reactions in aerobic respiration that begins and ends with the same 6-carbon compound is the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle. This cycle takes place in the mitochondria and involves a series of reactions that ultimately produce ATP, NADH, and FADH2 to be used in the electron transport chain.
This 4-carbon molecule is then ready to accept another 2-carbon acetyl group, which starts the cycle all over again.It is regenerated at the end of each complete turn of the cycle.
Carbon Dioxide is produced during the Kreb cycle (also called the citric acid cycle).
The conguate base of citric acid - citrate - is an important intermediate in the cycle. This is where the name "Citric Acid Cycle" comes from. It is also known as the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle - as it involves 3 carbon acids, or the Krebs Cycle after Hans Adolf Krebs - who developed the complexities of the cycle.
