HOOC-CH2-CO-COOH. Addition of a -CH2- via the enzyme citrate synthase - to oxaloacetic acid marks its importance as being a 'key entry point' to the continuation of the Kreb's : Citric Acid cycle.

The Krebs cycle is initiated by the molecule acetyl-CoA, which is derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It enters the cycle by combining with oxaloacetate to form citrate, starting the series of reactions that ultimately produce ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
Not directly. Fatty acid β-oxidation results in acetyl CoA, which is then entered to the Citric Acid cycle. The "last" step of the cycle is the formation of oxaloacetate from malate.
oxaloacetic acid
Probably misspelled: oxalocetic should be oxaloacetic acid (official IUPAC name: oxobutanedioic acid), which is in the TCA- or Krebs cycle. So: Yes it is in there.
Oxaloacetic acid is C4H4O5 and has four carbons
Oxaloacetate [oxaloacetic acid], under the strict guidance of the enzyme 'citrate synthase', is reacted with the co-enzyme 'Acetyl-CoA' to form the products CoA and citric acid.
there are 4 carbons in oxaloacetic acid

As it is written. Ox-ah-low ah-see-tick.... acid
Citric Acid. You can go to some site to find out why/how, but nevertheless, it makes the 6-carbon compound of Citric Acid.
This reaction is a transamination reaction, where the amino group from aspartic acid is transferred to α-ketoglutaric acid to form glutamic acid and oxaloacetic acid. Transamination reactions are important for amino acid metabolism and synthesis.
In a molecule of oxaloacetic acid (C4H4O5), there are 4 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 5 oxygen atoms.
An immediate consequence of a cellular deficiency of oxaloacetate is the slowing of the Citric Acid Cycle. The citric acid cycle is also called the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
