| Front | Importance of Krebs Cycle |
|---|---|
| Back | Breaks down macromolecules into smaller ones- pyruvate broken down into carbon dioxide Produces Hydrogen Atoms that are carried by NAD to electron transfer chain and provides energy for oxidative phosphorylation which leads to production of ATP which provides metabolic energy for the cell Regenerates 4 carbon compound that combines with acetylcoenzyme A Source of immediate compounds used by cells into the production of important substances such as fatty acids, amino acids and chlorophyll |
