This 4-carbon molecule is then ready to accept another 2-carbon acetyl group, which starts the cycle all over again.It is regenerated at the end of each complete turn of the cycle.
Each turn of the Kreb's cycle must regenerate oxaloacetate.
Citric acid cycle
The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, breaks down pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and produces NADH, FADH2, and ATP. This cycle takes place in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and is an essential part of cellular respiration.
The citric acid cycle is a cyclic pathway because the end product, oxaloacetate, is regenerated at the end of the cycle to start again, allowing the pathway to continue repeatedly. This cycle of reactions facilitates the complete oxidation of acetyl-CoA to produce energy in the form of ATP.
This 4-carbon molecule is then ready to accept another 2-carbon acetyl group, which starts the cycle all over again.It is regenerated at the end of each complete turn of the cycle.
Oxaloacetate is the substrate that is regenerated after one cycle of the Krebs cycle. It combines with acetyl-CoA to continue the cycle.
Similarity: They are both cycles, therefore both have a reactant that s regenerated. In the Krebs Cycle, oxaloacetate is regenerated. In the Calvin cycle, RuBP is regenerated (ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate). Difference: Glucose is completely broken down in the Krebs Cycle to carbon dioxide, which in the Calvin Cycle, glucose is made as a product.
Carbon dioxide
Fumarate and aspartate are the compounds that are linked between the urea cycle and the Krebs cycle. Fumarate from the Krebs cycle can be converted to arginine in the urea cycle, while aspartate from the urea cycle can be converted to oxaloacetate in the Krebs cycle.

carbon dioxide and the Krebs cycle
A byproduct of the krebs cycle/citric acid cycle is carbon dioxide.
Each turn of the Kreb's cycle must regenerate oxaloacetate.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a byproduct of the Krebs cycle. It is produced during the decarboxylation reactions that occur within the cycle, where carbon atoms are removed from molecules like citric acid.
NAD+, and Acetyl CoA.
