The Citric Acid Cycle
The citric acid cycle is the final common pathway for the oxidationof fuel molecules: amino acids, fatty acids, & carbohydrates.
• Most fuel molecules enter the cycle as acetyl coenzyme A• This cycle is the central metabolic hub of the cell• It is the gateway to aerobic metabolism for any molecule that can be transformed into an acetyl group or dicarboxylic acid,• It is also an important source of precursors for building blocks• Also known as, Krebs Cycle, & Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle (TCA)
Chapter 17: Outline
17.1 The citric acid cycle oxidizes two-carbon units
17.2 Entry to the cycle and metabolism through it are controlled
17.3 The cycle is a source of biosynthetic precursors

Overview of citric acid cycle
1. The function of the cycle is the harvesting of high-energy electrons from carbon fuels2. The cycle itself neither generates ATP nor includes O2 as a reactant3. Instead, it removes electrons from acetyl CoA & uses them to form NADH & FADH2 (high-energy electron carriers)1. In oxidative phosphorylation, electrons from reoxidation of NADH & FADH2 flow through a series of membrane proteins (electron transport chain) to generate a proton gradient• These protons then flow back through ATP synthase to generate ATP from ADP & inorganic phosphate• O2 is the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain4. The cytric acid cycle + oxidative phosphorylation provide > 95% of energy used in human aerobic cells
