where does the TCA cycle occur?
in eukaryotic cells, the TCA cycle occurs in the mitochondria matrix
two major functions of the TCA cycle
- increase cell’s ATP-producing potential by generating reduced electron carriers NADH and ubiquinone
- provide cell with a variety of metabolic precursors
____ is the starting point of the TCA cycle- can be formed from many different molecules like ___, ____, ____ etc.
acetyl-CoA; sugars; fats; amino acids
