  • The Kreb Cycle occurs in the matrix
  • AcetylCoA reacts with 4C Oxaloacetate to form 6C Citrate, releasing CoA
  • 6C Citrate is dehydrogenated and decarboxylated releasing CO2 and reducing NAD to form a 5C molecule
  • 5C Molecule is decarboxylated and dehydrogenated forming CO2, reduced NAD and a 4C molecule
  • 4C Molecule undergoes substrate-level phosphorylation creating ATP, and is dehydrogenated forming reduced FAD and NAD, and reforming oxaloacetate
  • Net Gain of the Kreb Cycle per Cycle = 3x Reduced NAD + 1x Reduced FAD + 2x CO2 + ATP
