Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, which is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide.

Identify the main processes occurring in the citric acid cycle: the cycle involves the oxidation of acetyl-CoA to produce NADH, FADH2, and ATP, along with the release of carbon dioxide.

Recognize that NADH is produced, not oxidized, during the citric acid cycle. NAD+ is reduced to NADH as it gains electrons during the cycle.

Understand that water is not formed as a byproduct in the citric acid cycle. Instead, water is consumed in one of the steps where fumarate is converted to malate.

Note that ATP is produced through substrate-level phosphorylation during the citric acid cycle, specifically in the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinate, which is a key step in energy production.
