Krebs CycleBritish biochemist Hans Krebs, discovered 1937During Krebs cycle, PYRUVATE is broken down into CARBON DIOXIDE in a series of energy extracting reactionsAKA the CITRIC ACID CYCLE because citrate (also called citric acid) is the first product of the cycle
From Glycolysis comes the Pyruvates….
Krebs Cycle
Step 1Citric Acid ProductionPyruvate ( 3-carbons) enter mitochondria MatrixOne carbon is removed as CO2 (WASTE product) and electrons are removed by NAD+ (making NADH which goes to the ETC)Co-enzyme A joins the 2-carbon molecule (that used to be pyruvate) making Acetyl-CoANow Acetyl-CoA can enter the Krebs cycleAcetyl Co-A combines with 4-carbon molecule called OXALEOACETATE , making citrate (citric acid), a 6-carbon molecule
Step 2Citric acid (6 carbon molecule) is broken down into a few different 5-carbon compounds, then into a few different 4-carbon compounds.Each step releases CO2, NADH and FADH2, and ATPCO2 is a waste product (breath out!)NADH and FADH2 (taxi cabs) goes onto the ETC (where the party is at)ATP is used for cell to do work (mechanical, chemical, or transport)

H+H+H+H+H+H+H+H+H+Electron Carriers = Hydrogen CarriersKrebs cycle produces large quantities of electron carriers

So we use Krebs if we have oxygen….what if there is NO oxygen???Then we can’t even enter the mitochondria and go to the Krebs cycle…We are stuck suing Glycolysis…Anaerobic respiration (NO oxygen)2 typesLactic acid fermentationAlcohol fermentation

Cells cannot get enough oxygenBuild up of pyruvic acid and NADH and no oxygen to break it downCells begin fermentationLactic Acid fermentationPyruvic acid + NADH lactic acid + NAD+Get about 90 seconds of energy without having to use oxygenHOWEVER, oxygen will be paid back double when you are done (think heavy breathing)Occurs in muscle cells, and microorganisms, such as the ones that turn milk into cheese and yogurtLactic acid causes muscle cramping and burning sensationOxygen is required to break down lactic acid and get it out of bodyAlcohol fermentationPyruvic acid + NADH ethyl alcohol + NAD+ + CO2Occurs in yeast cells and other microorganisms, such as the ones involved in the production of bread and wine
