What is needed to preform the Krebs Cycle?
Acetyl-CoA: an important molecule in metabolism, used in many biochemical reactions.
Oxaloacetic Acid: a crystalline organic compound used in many metabolic processes (most of them in animal cells).
Citric Acid: an organic acid which is commonly found in fruits.
What comes out of the Krebs cycle?
FAD: flavin adenine dinucleotide, coenzyme involved in respiration.
FADH2: energy carrying molecule and electron acceptor that is utilized in cellular respiration (accepts and donates electrons)
NAD+: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, coenzyme that carries electrons from one reaction to another
NADH: reduced form of NAD+, carries electrons
ADP: adenosine diphosphate, stores and releases the energy within an organism
ATP: adenosine triphosphate, high energy molecule that stores all the energy we need
CO2: carbon dioxide, essential to many biochemical and biological processes
