The first round of the citric acid cycle involves the combination of acetyl CoA with oxaloacetate to form citrate. The carbon atoms from the acetyl CoA are then gradually released in subsequent rounds of the cycle as carbon dioxide. Therefore, it is not until the second round of the citric acid cycle that a carbon atom from the acetyl CoA could potentially be released.
