Open pathwayThe citric acid cycle (TCA cycle, Krebs cycle) oxidizes the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA to two molecules of CO2 while capturing reducing equivalents as NADH and FADH2 and generatin…
Open pathwayThe mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) transfers electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular oxygen through a sequence of redox carriers while using the released free ene…
