Summary Introduction

To review:

The incorporation of an acetyl group by the TCA cycle and removal of two CO2 molecules.

Introduction:

Tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle also termed as the Krebs cycle. The catabolization of the sugar products into CO2 (Carbon dioxide) and H2O (Water) takes place in this reaction. During the TCA cycle, the molecules of NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) and FADH2 (Flavin adenine dinucleotide) are also generated. Other than sugars, the breakdown of Lignin, phenolic, and polycyclic aromatic toxins can also occur in the TCA cycle.
