Role The Citric acid柠檬酸 cycle, also known as the TcA( (tricarboxylic acid三羧酸) cycle or Krebs cycle (after its discover in 1993), is used to oxidize the pyruvate formed during the glyco lytic breakdown of glucose into CO2 and H2o The cycle is a major energy source in the form of ATP and also produces precursors for many biosynthetic pathways

The cycle Step 1. Oxidation of fuel molecules to acetyl CoA A major source of energy is glucose which is converted by glycolysis into pyruvate. Pyruvate dehydrogenase(a complex of three enzymes and five coenzymes)then oxidizes the pyruvate(using NAD which is reduced to NADH) to form acetyl CoA and Co. since the reaction involves both an oxidation and a loss of CO2, the process is called oxidative decarboxylation
The cycle • Step 1 .Oxidation of fuel molecules to acetyl CoA • A major source of energy is glucose which is converted by glycolysis into pyruvate. Pyruvate dehydrogenase (a complex of three enzymes and five coenzymes ) then oxidizes the pyruvate (using NAD+ which is reduced to NADH ) to form acetyl CoA and CO2 since the reaction involves both an oxidation and a loss of CO2 , the process is called oxidative decarboxylation
