In the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), which takes place in the mitochondria, the carbon atoms of acetyl CoA are oxidized and released as CO?, while NADH, FADH?, and GTP are generated in the process. Many intermediates of the citric acid cycle and glycolysis are precursors for the biosynthesis of important small molecules in the cell.
