The citric acid cycle, also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the Krebs cycle, completes the oxidation of glucose by taking the pyruvates from glycolysis, by way of the transition reaction, and completely breaking them down into CO2 molecules, H2O molecules, and generating additional ATP by oxidative

Answer:

Thus, during the Citric Acid cycle, the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide is completed. There are four redox reactions, three of which yield reduced NADH and one FADH2. Thus, the oxidation of glucose is completed in the Kreb's cycle
