Notes from NEET topper
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle):
-
The Krebs cycle is a part of aerobic respiration.
-
It takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
-
The cycle involves a series of enzymatic reactions that oxidize acetyl-CoA molecules, releasing carbon dioxide, ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
-
These electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
-
The Krebs cycle is also involved in the production of precursors for biosynthesis, such as amino acids and fatty acids.
