1
Kreb’s Cycle Step 2 in Cellular Respiration Life needs energy in order to survive and function efficiently.
2
Mitochondrion,-a “ATP Powerhouses” Produce most of energy needed by cell Some cells have 10, some have thousands(muscle cells) Remember: glycolysis and fermentation are in cytoplasm Kreb’s cycle(2) and electron transport system(3) take place in mitochondria

5
Kreb’s Cycle Named after Sir Hans Kreb Oxford University in England a.k.a “citric acid cycle” Citrate or citric acid is produced in this cycle Purpose: Take pyruvate from glycolysis and break down completely into carbon dioxide. Pyruvate Carbon Dioxide Kreb’s Cycle
6
Prep 1 Preparing for Kreb’s cycle Pyruvate is sent from cytoplasm into mitochondria CCC
7
Prep 2: Enzymes break off a molecule of CO2 from pyruvate Now acetate (2 carbon acid) Also known as aceitic acid NADH+ becomes NADH CCC NAD+ Pyruvate
8
Prep 2: Enzymes break off a molecule of CO2 from pyruvate Now acetate (2 carbon acid) Also known as aceitic acid NAD+ becomes NADH CCC NAD+ NADH Acetate Carbon dioxide
9
Prep 3: CoA(Coenzyme A) binds to acetate A carrier molecule Carries acetate to the Kreb’s cycle CC Acetate CoA
10
Prep 3: CoA(Coenzyme A) binds to acetate A carrier molecule Carries acetate to the Kreb’s cycle Overall: Produces 1 NADH and 1 CO 2 CC Acetate CoA Kreb’s Cycle
11
Kreb’s Cycle: Step 1 Acetate Group of Acetyl/CoA combines with oxaloacetate(4-carbon) Forms a 6 carbon acid “citrate” Where it gets its nickname “citric acid cycle” CC CoA CCCC oxaloacetate Acetyl/CoA complex
12
Kreb’s Cycle: Step 1 Acetate Group of Acetyl/CoA combines with oxaloacetate(4-carbon) Forms a 6 carbon acid “citrate” Where it gets its nickname “citric acid cycle” CCCCCC citrate
13
Kreb’s Cycle: Step 2 Two carbon atoms are oxidized to form 2 more CO2 NAD converted to NADH Produces a 4 carbon acid CCCCCC citrate NAD+
14
Kreb’s Cycle: Step 2 Two carbon atoms are oxidized to form 2 more CO2 NAD converted to NADH Produces a 4 carbon acid CC CCCC 4-carbon acid NAD+ NADH 2 carbon dioxide
15
Kreb’s Cycle: Step 3 4 carbon acid is rearranged and oxidized to form original oxaloacetate Produce 3 NADH Produce 1 FADH2 Produce 1 ATP Produce 2 CO 2 NOTE: One glucose molecule makes two pyruvate, so two Kreb’s cycles run from one glucose moleculeNOTE CCCC 4-carbon acid
16
Kreb’s Cycle: Step 3 4 carbon acid is rearranged and oxidized to form original oxaloacetate Produce 3 NADH Produce 1 FADH2 Produce 1 ATP Produce 2 CO 2 NOTE: One glucose molecule makes two pyruvate, so two Kreb’s cycles run from one glucose moleculeNOTE CCCC oxaloacetate 1 NADH 1 FADH2 1 ATP
