Why medical students learn the Krebs cycle: A fascinating case

krebs cycle  Stages of Krebs Cycle · The acetate is released from CoA · Acetate joins with oxaloacetate · Citrate is decarboxylated and dehydrogenated · The 5C molecule The citric acid cycle starts with the condensation of acetate with oxaloacetate to form the tricarboxylic acid, citric acid Acetate enters the

Krebs cycle 1 It takes place in the matrix of mitochondria 2 It occurs in aerobic respiration only 3 It is a cyclic pathway 4 Krebs cycle is the Krebs Cycle -- The Heart of Intermediary Metabolism · Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase · Fumarase · Citrate synthase · Pyruvate kinase

The eight steps of the citric acid cycle are a series of redox, dehydration, hydration, and decarboxylation reactions • Each turn of the cycle From an evolutionary point of view, the Krebs cycle has not started as a cycle, but instead as two linear and independent reaction sequences
