Summary Introduction

To review:

The given blank space in the statement, “The ___________ branch of the primitive citric acid cycle provides a source of oxidized NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).”

Introduction:

Aerobic respiration is a complex process. The cells use oxygen to break down organic molecules, and release energy that is used for biological processes. In the whole process, the oxidation of glucose occurs that forms carbon dioxide and water. Energy is also released in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

The citric acid cycle operates only when O2 is present, yet O2 is not a substrate for the cycle. Explain.
Mitochondria are important organelles for energy production. Why do mitochondria contain dehydrogenases?
Why is the citric acid cycle considered part of aerobic metabolism, even though molecular oxygen does not appear in any reaction
