The Krebs Cycle does not produce carbon atoms; in fact, it requires them in the form of glucose (typically). The KrebsCycle, or Citric Acid Cycle, is the cycle that essentially makes a useful form of energy for our bodies in the form of ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate). One of the byproducts is 2 molecules of carbon dioxide, so you actually use up 2 carbon atoms from the original 6 (from glucose) in order to produce ATP.

Also, I have my B.S. in Biological Sciences, so I have studied basic physiology like this for 4 years.

Hope this answer helps!

What gas is in the 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.

Where does co2 come from during Krebs cycle?

CO2 is produced during the Krebs cycle as a byproduct of decarboxylation reactions that occur when citrate is converted to isocitrate, isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate, and alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA. These decarboxylation reactions release carbon dioxide as a waste product.


What product of the Krebs cycle is considered e waste product of the reaction?

The waste product of the Krebs cycle is carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is produced during the process of cellular respiration as a byproduct of the oxidation of acetyl-CoA molecules.

In anaerobic respiration what steps produce carbon dioxide?

It's called the Krebs's cycle and it consists of the steps to convert a 2 carbon sugar into CO2 and H2O. (And you don't own the genetic code to do this ... only the mitochondria do.)
