The products of one complete turn of the Krebs cycle include 3 NADH, 1 FADH₂, 1 GTP (or ATP), 2 CO₂, and 1 CoA-SH (Coenzyme A). The NADH and FADH₂ molecules carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain, where they are used for ATP production. CO₂ is released as a waste product, and GTP (or ATP) serves as a direct energy molecule. Additionally, intermediates of the cycle, such as α-ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate, serve as precursors for biosynthetic pathways including amino acid and nucleotide synthesis.
