This combination forms Acetyl-CoA. In the process, electrons and a hydrogen ion are transferred to NAD to for high energy NADH.

    • Throughout these conversions many high-energy elections are released to NAD.
    • The NAD molecule also a quires a hydrogen ion and becomes NADH.
    • In one of the conversions FAD serves as the electron acceptor, and it a quires two hydrogen ion to become FADH2.
    • Through the conversions enough energy is released to synthesize a molecule of ATP
    • Due to two Pyruvic acids interring the cycle originally, this process happens twice.
  75. What happens in step 4 of the Kreb cycle?
    The two carbon atoms of the Acetyl-CoA are released, and each forms a carbon dioxide molecule. Thus for each Acetyl-CoA entering the cycle, two Co2 molecules are formed. Each cycle two Acetyl - CoA enter the Kreb cycle producing 4 CO2 molecules. When adding these four to the 2 already produced off the breakdown of pyruvic acid, we get 6 CO2 Molecules. These 6 CO2 molecules are given off as waist, they represent the 6 Carbons to the 6 Carbon sugar originally.
