Krebs cycle/ Citric Acid Cycle

Front

What is the waste product of the Krebs cycle?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

Is oxygen required for the Krebs cycle to start?

Back

No, the Krebs cycle does not require oxygen to start, but it occurs in aerobic conditions.

Front

How many ATP are produced during the Krebs cycle?

Back

2 ATP are produced per cycle.

Front

Is the Krebs cycle efficient?

Back

No, the Krebs cycle is not highly efficient in terms of ATP production.

Front

Where does the Krebs cycle occur?

Back

The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

The main purpose of the Krebs cycle is to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What are the main inputs of the Krebs cycle?

Back

The main inputs are acetyl-CoA, NAD+, FAD, and ADP.

Front

What are the main outputs of the Krebs cycle?

Back

The main outputs are carbon dioxide, NADH, FADH2, and ATP.

Front

What role does NAD+ play in the Krebs cycle?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, being reduced to NADH.

Front

What is the significance of FAD in the Krebs cycle?

Back

FAD is another electron carrier that gets reduced to FADH2 during the cycle.
