tricarboxylic acid cycle

Citrate and ATP can make acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA enters cycles {TCA cycle} {tricarboxylic acid cycle} {citric acid cycle} {Krebs cycle} and becomes two carbon dioxides and four NADH hydrogens. TCA cycle makes citrate, isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate, and citrate again. These are mostly three-carbon carboxylic acids. Pyruvate, carbon dioxide, and ATP can make oxaloacetate and malate, which can enter cycle.

purpose

NADH hydrogens are for reduction reactions.

aerobic

TCA cycle uses oxygen to make carbon dioxide.
