Coenzyme A (CoA) escorts acetic acid produced from pyruvic acid into the first reaction of the citric acid cycle by forming acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is then used as a substrate in the first step of the citric acid cycle to produce citrate.
Four reduced dinucleotides (NADH) would be produced with four turns of the citric acid cycle - one NADH is produced in each turn of the cycle.
The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
Acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate combine to produce citric acid (or citrate) in the citric acid cycle. This is the first step in the cycle, also known as the condensation step.
The first six-carbon molecule produced in the Krebs cycle is citrate, also known as citric acid. It is formed by condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase.

The citric acid cycle, more commonly known as the Krebs cycle.
NADH is produced in the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain of cellular respiration. FADH2 is also produced in the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle.
Four reduced dinucleotides (NADH) would be produced with four turns of the citric acid cycle - one NADH is produced in each turn of the cycle.
CoA
During the transition reaction, one molecule of glucose produces 2 molecules of CO2. Then, during the citric acid cycle, an additional 4 molecules of CO2 are produced per glucose molecule. This results in a total of 6 molecules of CO2 produced during the transition reaction and citric acid cycle for each glucose molecule.
Krebs cycle (aka citric acid cycle, aka tricarboxylic acid cycle)
One acetyl group produces 1 molecule of FADH2 in the citric acid cycle.
The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) produces the most NADH in cellular respiration. For each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, a total of 10 NADH molecules are produced.
The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
The citric acid cycle got its name because citric acid (citrate) is the first intermediate compound formed in the cycle. The cycle itself is also known as the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle, named after the scientist Hans Krebs who elucidated its details.
It is the chemical name for the energy produced in the mitochondria of the cell. Most are produced in the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.
