Kreb's Cycle
This process is where acetyl CoA enters the Kreb's Cycle (A biochemical pathway) also in the mitochondrial matrix
Each Kreb cycle turn generates 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1ATP, and 2 CO2 molecules
The previous step Glycolysis generated 2 pyruvic acid molecules, so the Kreb's cycle will have to go around two times, leaving with
- 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP, and 4 CO2 molecules
