Can pyruvic acid use in the Krebs cycle?

The pyruvic acid that is produced by glycolysis is used as the initial input for the Krebs Cycle (also called citric acid cycle). In the initial step of the Krebs Cycle, the pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl-CoA via pyruvate decarboxylation. This continues a series of chemical reactions leading to the production of 2 ATP molecules.


What is the starting molecule for the Krebs cycle?

The starting molecule for the Krebs cycle is acetyl-CoA, which enters the cycle by combining with oxaloacetate to form citrate.


When does Calvin cycle begin?

When acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate is present.


Which one is formed during the Krebs cycle FADH2 or pyruvic acid?

FADH2 since pyruvic acid is needed to START the Krebs cycle


True or false In the matrix pyruvic acid is converted to latic acid before the krebs cycle begins?

This is false. Pyruvic acid is converted to acetic acid prior to the krebs cycle.


What molecules both enters AND exits the Kreb's cycle?

Pyruvic acid enters and carbon dioxide exits.


How many ATP molecules are produced for every pyruvic acid molecule that enters the Krebs' cycle?

The energy tally from one molecule of pyruvic acid is 4 NADH, 1 FADH₂ and 1 molecule of ATP.


What process of ATP production begins with the breakdown of pyruvic acid?

The process of ATP production that begins with the breakdown of pyruvic acid is the citric acid (Krebs) cycle. Pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle to produce ATP through a series of chemical reactions in the mitochondria.


How is pyruvic acid used in the Kreb's cycle?

Pyruvic acid is first converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle. Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citric acid, which initiates the Krebs cycle. Throughout the cycle, acetyl-CoA is oxidized to produce energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and FADH2.


What is the pyruvic acid conveted to before the Krebs cycle?

Acetyl Co-A


What purpose does pyruvic acid serve?

Pyruvic acid (or pyruvate) is simply one of the compounds in the metabolic pathway from sugars to carbon dioxide and water. From pyruvate (a three cabon unit) either one of two reactions can occur. It can react to form lactose or lose a carbon dioxide molecule to become a two carbon unit and enter the Krebs cycle.
