Citric Acid Cycle
A reaction series that
• Operates under aerobic conditions only
• Oxidizes the 2 carbon atoms of acetyl CoA to
CO2
• Provides reduced coenzymes

Regulation of Citric Acid Cycle
• Operates when ATP is needed
• High levels of ATP and/or NADH inhibit
citrate synthetase (first step in cycle)
• High levels of ADP and NAD+ activate
isocitrate dehydrogenase
• Low levels of ATP or high levels of acetyl
CoA speed up the cycle to give energy
ATP
9
Electron Transport Chain
• A series of electron carriers
• Transfers H+ and electrons from
coenzymes NADH and FADH2 (citric acid
cycle)
• Energy released along chain to make ATP
NADH + 3 ADP
FADH2 + 2 ADP
NAD+ + 3 ATP
FAD + 2 ATP
10
Electron Carriers
• Found in three protein complexes
• Attached to inner membrane of mitochondria
• H+ move into intermembrane space to create
proton gradient
• As H+ return to matrix, ATP synthase uses
energy to synthesize ATP
• Oxidation phosphorylation
ADP + Pi + Energy
ATP
