A total of five 'loaded' acceptor molecules are formed, (four NADH and one FADH2) for each pyruvate molecule. Making a total of 10 'loaded' acceptor molecules because two pyruvate's are used.
Therefore the most abundant acceptor released in the Kreb cycle is NADH (4 of them) vs only one FADH2.
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transfer chain and therefore needs to be present in the Kreb's cycle. Without oxygen only anaerobic repiration will occur.
kreb's cycle
The main job of Kreb cycle is to generate energy. It is a part of cellular respiration.
Kreb cycle.
There are several stages of the citric-acid or Kreb's cycle where potent chemical energy is 'released' in the form of Atp and NADPH.
In prokaryotes the Krebs cycle occurs in the cytosol while in eukaryotes the Krebs cycle is performed in the mitochondrial matrix which is the space inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria
yes
No, the Krebs cycle requires oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to function properly. Without oxygen, the electron transport chain cannot proceed, leading to a buildup of molecules that inhibit the Krebs cycle. This can result in the Krebs cycle slowing down or ceasing altogether.
