    It produces both NADH and FADH2, which are passed onto the electron transport chain in oxidative phosphorylation, where the majority of ATP in aerobic organisms is produced. It is also a sorce of numerous biosynthetic precursors such as nucleotide bases, proteins, and haem groups. This means the only waste molecule produced by the cycle is CO2, which can be removed with relative ease. The cycle may also act as the entry point into melabolism for any amino acids which may have otherwise gone to waste. These factors mean the citric acid cycle operates at a very high level of efficiency, and must be controlled to a high degree. It acts as the final common pathway for the oxidation of many fuel molecules, and plays a huge role in metabolism as a whole as a result of…
