Acetyl-CoA, the product of carbohydrate, protein, and lipid catabolism, is taken into the cycle and oxidized to CO2 with the release of reducing equivalents (2H). Subsequent oxidation of 2H in the respiratory chain leads to phosphorylation of ADP to ATP.

Acetyl-CoA, the product of carbohydrate, protein, and lipid catabolism, is taken into the cycle and oxidized to CO2 with the release of reducing equivalents (2H). Subsequent oxidation of 2H in the respiratory chain leads to phosphorylation of ADP to ATP.

It can be converted to fatty acids, which in turn give rise to:

triglycerides (triacylglycerols) Explore

phospholipids

eicosanoids (e.g., prostaglandins)

ketone bodies

It is the precursor of cholesterol, which can be converted to:

steroid hormones

bile acids

It produces energy, generated by the complete oxidation of acetyl CoA to carbon dioxide and water through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

At first glance, the citric acid cycle appears rather complex (Figure  6.5.1

). All the reactions, however, are familiar types in organic chemistry: hydration, oxidation, decarboxylation, and hydrolysis. Each reaction of the citric acid cycle is numbered, and in Figure  6.5.1

, the two acetyl carbon atoms are highlighted in red. Each intermediate in the cycle is a carboxylic acid, existing as an anion at physiological pH. All the reactions occur within the mitochondria, which are small organelles within the cells of plants and animals.
