Why is the citric acid cycle a cyclic pathway rather than a linear pathway?
In the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, one carbon atom is released as CO2. However, the oxidation of the remaining two carbon atoms—in acetate—to CO2 requires a complex, eight-step pathway—the citric acid cycle. Consider four possible explanations for why the last two carbons in acetate are converted to CO2 in a complex cyclic pathway rather than through a simple, linear reaction.
Use your knowledge of the first three stages of cellular respiration to determine which explanation is correct.
