Exemplar Problems

Question:

Describe the overall purpose and significance of the Krebs Cycle in cellular respiration. Include the types of energy carriers produced.

Answer:

The Krebs Cycle is a central metabolic pathway that completes the oxidation of acetyl-CoA molecules derived from various sources, such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. Its significance lies in:

  • Generating high-energy carriers: It produces energy-rich molecules, including NADH and FADH2, which transport high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP synthesis.

  • Carbon skeleton generation: It provides carbon skeletons used in biosynthesis of amino acids, fatty acids, and other molecules.

  • Overall, the Krebs Cycle is vital for energy production and supplying precursors for anabolic pathways.
