Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle (TCA). It consists of multi-step chemical mechanisms used by all aerobic organisms for releasing stored energy by oxidization of the two pyruvates into high energy yielding molecules such as NADH, FADH2, and some ATP molecules.

Succinyl-CoA allows the phosphorylation of GDP (Guanosine Diphosphate) d. The carbon atoms from the glucose that enters the cycle are released from the mitochondrion immediately.
Which of the following statements about the TCA cycle is INCORRECT? O a. The TCA cycle can recover much more energy than homolactic fermentation. b. All reactions of the TCA cycle take place in the mitochondria. C. The energy released in the TCA cycle is mainly stored in the reduced electron carriers NADH and FADH₂. O d. Under anaerobic conditions the TCA cycle is used to oxidize pyruvate. Oe. The TCA cycle is also called the citric acid cycle after the product of the first reaction catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase.
