Kreb Cycle | Cirtric Acid cycle

(0)
This is a detailed presentation which includes detailed teachers notes on the topic. The Student handout included pictures for the pupils, activities, space for notes and exam questions. Outline the Krebs cycle, with reference to the formation of citrate from acetate and oxaloacetate and the reconversion of citrate to oxaloacetate (h) (A) explain that during the Krebs cycle, decarboxylation and dehydrogenation occur, NAD and FAD are reduced and substrate level phosphorylation occurs; (B/C)

This scheme of work is based around the equation for respiration. You start by doing and investigation to find out the equation for respiration and then the following lessons teach pupils how each component of the equation gets to the cells where this reaction takes place. It covers the heart, respiratory system, digestive system
