1 The Citric Acid Cycle

2 Before the citric acid cycle can begin, pyruvate must be converted to acetyl Coenzyme A (acetyl CoA), which links glycolysis to the citric acid cycle. This step is carried out by a multienzyme complex that catalyses three reactions (blue numbers). Figure 9.10 MITOCHONDRION CYTOSOL CO2 Coenzyme A 1 3 2 NAD NADH + H Acetyl CoA Pyruvate What is getting oxidized? Transport protein

3 After pyruvate is oxidized, the citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules This process happens in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells only when O2 is present.

4 The Citric Acid Cycle The citric acid cycle (also called the Krebs cycle) completes the break down of pyruvate to CO2. The cycle oxidizes organic fuel (acetyl coA). And generates 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 per turn. How many of each does it make per glucose molecule?

6 The citric acid cycle has eight steps, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme.

8 Figure Acetyl CoA CoA-SH 1 H2O Oxaloacetate 2 Citrate Isocitrate Citric acid cycle Figure 9.12 A closer look at the citric acid cycle. The next seven steps decompose the citrate back to oxaloacetate, making the process a cycle.
