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 release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Identify the main products of the citric acid cycle. The cycle produces several key molecules: NADH, FADH2, ATP (or GTP), and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Recognize that NADH is a crucial electron carrier produced in the citric acid cycle. It plays a significant role in the electron transport chain, where it contributes to the generation of ATP.

Understand that glucose is not produced in the citric acid cycle. Instead, glucose is broken down into pyruvate during glycolysis, which then enters the citric acid cycle as acetyl-CoA.

Note that lactic acid is not a product of the citric acid cycle. Lactic acid is produced during anaerobic respiration when oxygen is scarce, and pyruvate is converted into lactic acid instead of entering the citric acid cycle.
