NO. You release 2 CO2 from each turn on the kreb cycle. You have to go around the cycle twice in order to decarboxylate 1 glucose molecule (you go around twice because you have 2 pyruvate molecules in one glucose, meaning one full turn of the kreb cycle per pyruvate molecule)
pyruvate
Galactose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate, which can enter glycolysis to produce pyruvate. Pyruvate can then be converted to acetyl-CoA, a molecule that enters the Krebs cycle. This allows galactose-derived metabolites to be utilized in the Krebs cycle for energy production.
The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, must run once for each molecule of pyruvate. Since one glucose molecule produces two pyruvate molecules during glycolysis, the Krebs cycle runs twice for each glucose molecule. Therefore, for one molecule of pyruvate, the cycle runs just once.
The product from glycolysis, a 3 carbonn pyruvate, has Coenzyme A and an NAD+ added to it with the help of an enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the products are a 2 carbon Acetyl Coenzyme A, CO2, NADH + H+.
The formation of acetyl-CoA
The starting substance of the Krebs Cycle is acetyl-CoA, which is formed from the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the form of pyruvate.
Pyruvate
The end product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is converted into acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle. Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to initiate the Krebs cycle, where it undergoes a series of reactions to produce ATP and high-energy electron carriers.
Pyruvate is transported to the mitochondria to serve as a starting point for the Krebs cycle. Once in the mitochondria, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the Krebs cycle to be oxidized for energy production.
Oxidized
Pyruvic acid breakdown occurs through a process called pyruvate oxidation, which takes place in the mitochondria. During this process, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, releasing carbon dioxide and producing NADH. Acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle to generate more ATP.
Before the Krebs cycle can proceed, pyruvate must be converted into acetyl-CoA through a process known as pyruvate decarboxylation. This reaction occurs in the mitochondria and is catalyzed by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle to be further metabolized for energy production.
In Glycolysis, the final compound formed is Pyruvate. Now, pyruvate has to be transformed to Acetyl-CoA by the substitution of the carboxylic group with a Coenzyme A by pyruvate dehydrogenase. In real terms, Acetyl-CoA is the molecule that "switch on" the Krebs cycle.
pyruvate
the krebs cycle produces pyruvate as a product to be used by the ATP molecules.
Pyruvate -> Acetyl CoA -> Citrate which is used by the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.
Galactose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate, which can enter glycolysis to produce pyruvate. Pyruvate can then be converted to acetyl-CoA, a molecule that enters the Krebs cycle. This allows galactose-derived metabolites to be utilized in the Krebs cycle for energy production.
