Review 3: Pyruvate & Fatty Acid Oxidation, Citric Acid Cycle, & Glycogen Metabolism

In aerobic respiration, one glucose molecule is converted to two molecules of acetyl-CoA that enter the citric acid (Krebs) cycle. How many turns of the citric acid cycle occur per glucose molecule?

In eukaryotic cells, where does the Krebs (citric acid) cycle primarily take place?

In the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, why is the pathway considered a “cycle”?

In the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, how much ATP (or equivalent GTP) is produced directly by substrate-level phosphorylation per turn of the cycle for one acetyl-CoA?

In eukaryotic cells, the Krebs (citric acid) cycle primarily takes place in which location?

In eukaryotic cells, where do the reactions of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle primarily take place?

In cellular respiration, what is the primary function of the Krebs (citric acid) cycle?

In eukaryotic cells, where does the Krebs (citric acid) cycle primarily occur?

In the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, how many molecules of ATP (or GTP, ATP-equivalent) are produced directly by substrate-level phosphorylation per turn of the cycle (per acetyl-CoA)?
