Document Summary

Citric acid cycle: it is there to finish the oxidation of glucose by converting the 2- carbon compound acetyl-coa to 2 co2. C2 added in first reaction, 2 co2 split off in following oxidations; reactions catalyzed by dehydrogenases are redox reactions; result: reduced electron carriers (fadh2 and nadh); 1 gtp: note: this is the only step that"s not a redox reaction. Fad is used, because oxidation of succinate does not release enough energy to reduce nad (see table of redox potentials). The next step, the electron transport chain (etc), is required to get rid of all the. Nadh, because a cell needs much more atp than nadh, and the cell needs nad+ for the citric acid cycle to continue. The etc is a series of redox reactions coupled to the transport of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the intermembrane space.
