Glucosetopyruvateby pathways

More energy is released when

Pyruvate is degradedaerobically toCO2in entner doudoroff pathway

Multienzyme systemcalledpyruvate dehydrogenase complexfirst oxidizes

High energythiol Ester bond
|
Acetyl-CoAarises from catabolism of
|
Carbohydrates lipids andamino acids
|
It can be further degraded in
|
Tricarboxylic acid cycle
|
The substrate forTCA cycle citric acid cycle Orkrebs cycle is
|
Acetyl-CoA
|
Cycle now enters 4 carbon stageduring whichtwo oxidation steps yield
|
One FADH2one NADHper acetyl-CoA
|
In addition GTPis producedfrom
|
Succinyl-CoAbyphosphorylation
|
Eventually oxaloacetateis reformed and ready to join another
|
Acetyl-CoA
|
To each CoA molecule
oxidised it generates |
2 CO23NADHs1FADH21GTP

This cycleoxidizes

In first stepacetyl groupis attached to
|
Acetyl carrieroxaloacetateto formcitrate

Second stagebegins with

Citrateand ends in theformation ofsuccinyl-CoA
