Krebs Cycle Lab Report

he Krebs Cycle also expressed as: CH3C(=O)C(=O)O− (pyruvate) + HSCoA + NAD+ → CH3C(=O)SCoA (acetyl-CoA) + NADH + CO2 is the main pathway in all aerobic organisms. Basically it’s the way that cells produce energy for itself, but the only issue is it requires the presence of oxygen. In total eight reactions that take place in the mitochondria, and these reactions result in two carbon molecules and oxidizes it into carbon dioxide. Step 1 Citrate synthase bridges to Oxaloacetate substrates which can then bind to Acetyl–CoA’s acetyl group, which drops off the A Co-enzyme. This in turn created citrates for usage later in the Krebs cycle. This six-carbon molecule will be degraded, and biotransformed back into Oxaloacetate.Step 2The citrate isn't
