Carbon Molecule Co₂ Nadh Cycle Loses Reduces Compound

Front Describe the Krebs Cycle
Back 2 carbon- acetylcoenzyme A combines with a 4- carbon molecule to produce a 6- carbon molecule (citrate)
6 carbon molecule loses CO₂ and hydrogen which reduces NAD to NADH and forms a 5 carbon compound
5 carbon compound loses a CO₂ and reduces hydrogens to form 2x NADH 1x FADH₂ and also produced 1 ATP.
This leads to the production of a 4 carbon compoud so the cycle can continue.
Products:
CoA
2x CO₂
3x NADH
1x FADH₂
ATP
