|
Pyruvate | Broken down in carbon dioxide and an acetyl group |
Acetyl Group | contains co-enzyme A to form acetyl co-enzyme A |
Oxaloacetate | combines with acetyl coenzyme A to form citrate |
Citric Acid cycle | occurs in the central matrix, consists of several enzyme controlled stages, results in the regeneration of oxaloacetate |
Dehydrogenase Enzymes | remove H ions and high energy elections from the respiratory substrate |
Enzyme controlled steps | 3NAD becomes 3NADH, FAD becomes FADH2, ADP and Pi becomes ATP and 2CO2 is released |
