1.The Kreb's cycle
converts pyruvate to CO2 and reducing energy (NADH and FADH2)
and phosphorylated energy (GTP).
2 pyruvate + 2 GDP + 2 H3PO4 + 4 H2O + 2 FAD + 8 NAD+ ----> 6 CO2 + 2 GTP
+ 2 FADH2 + 8 NADH
2.The reduced energy
can be used to generate ATP using the electron transport chain in the
presence of oxygen.
