Front

What role does acetyl-CoA play in the Krebs Cycle?

Back

It is the starting substrate that enters the cycle.

Front

What is the significance of oxaloacetate in the Krebs Cycle?

Back

It combines with acetyl-CoA to form citrate, initiating the cycle.

Front

How does the Krebs Cycle contribute to cellular respiration?

Back

It produces electron carriers (NADH and FADH₂) that feed into the electron transport chain.
