The KREBS cycle turns a sugar molecule into a number of smaller molecules, whose main function is to supply very small packets of energy to cells. There are a number of molecules produced, of which the most common is Adenine triphosphate, aka ATP (which is used to "carry" energy around the body)
This cycle is of first importance to all animals; anything which interferes with the Krebs cycle kills the organism very rapidly.
In a complete Krebs Cycle, 24 ATP are produced. Every glucose molecule produces 2 ATP, and there are 12 glucose molecules.
In the Krebs cycle, a total of 3 molecules of NADH are produced.
Definitely! Per ever glucose that passes through cellular respiration, 6 NADH are produced during the Krebs Cycle. (Precisely, 3 NADH are produced per turn of the Krebs Cycle and 1 glucose molecule causes the Krebs Cycle to turn twice. Therefore, 2 turns * 3 NADH per turn = 6 NADH)
The Krebs cycle produces a total of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
FADH2 since pyruvic acid is needed to START the Krebs cycle
In a complete Krebs Cycle, 24 ATP are produced. Every glucose molecule produces 2 ATP, and there are 12 glucose molecules.
In the Krebs cycle, a total of 3 molecules of NADH are produced.
During the Krebs cycle, one molecule of water (H2O) is produced for each round of the cycle. At the end of the cycle, a total of two molecules of water per molecule of glucose are generated.
Glycolysis only produces ATP. GTP is produced during the Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle).
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a byproduct of the Krebs cycle. It is produced during the decarboxylation reactions that occur within the cycle, where carbon atoms are removed from molecules like citric acid.
In the Krebs cycle NAD+ is reduced to NADH. This is one of the electron carriers. Also FAD is reduced to FADH2 which is the other electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle.
acetyl CoA
Definitely! Per ever glucose that passes through cellular respiration, 6 NADH are produced during the Krebs Cycle. (Precisely, 3 NADH are produced per turn of the Krebs Cycle and 1 glucose molecule causes the Krebs Cycle to turn twice. Therefore, 2 turns * 3 NADH per turn = 6 NADH)
A total of 38 ATP are produced during the Krebs cycle. Since two ATP are used to start the cycle, there are 36 ATP produced, net.
The Krebs cycle runs twice for each molecule of glucose consumed.
The two high energy molecules that are produced in the Krebs Cycles are NADH and FADH2. :D
