function

krebs cycle

takes place in matrix of mitochondria

  • products from every turn of the cycle:
    • 2 CO2
    • 3 molecules NADH, 1 molecule FADH2
    • 1 ATP
  • hence for every glucose = 2 acetyl CoA =
    • 4 molecules CO2
    • 6 molecules NADH and 2 molecules FADH2
    • 2 ATP

of course remembering that the bulk of ATP produced is via oxidative phosphorylation

38 ATP produced in total
