Krebs Cycle

An enzyme mediated pathway that reduces the electron transporting coenzymes FAD+ and NAD+. The reduced forms of these molecules, NADH and FADH2 provide the electrons that power oxidative phosphorylation, the most efficient step in aerobic respiration.

Additionally, the Krebs cycle synthesizes ATP through substrate level phosphorlylation.

It was named for its discoverer, Hans Krebs.
The Krebs Cycle

Citrate > Isocitrate > AlphaKetoglutarate> Succinyl Coenzyme A > Succinate >Fumarate> Malate > Oxaloacetate > back to citrate

Krebs Cycle

The process in which 2 pyruvic acid molecules from glycolosis is converted into 8 NADH, 2 ATP, and 2 FADH2. Each yields NADH yields three ATP through the electron transport chain and each FADH2 yields 2 ATP. Oxygen is required to create a proton gradient so NADH and FADH2 so it could be converted into ATP by ATP Synthase, an enzyme. Since this requires Oxygen, this is a form of aerobic respiration. ATP synthase is located on the mitochondria membrane of eukaryotes and on the plasma membrane of prokaryotes.
I hate everyone who does not know what the Krebs Cycle is!

Krebs bio 

A laboratory in India that produces psuedo-ephedrine and sold 1.4 metric tons of the crap to the Amezcua Brothers of Mexico without even questioning it. I believe they ( the brtothers )made Two Billion dollars from it. Between making crystal meth or just selling the trash to other meth labs. It's a shame the DEA didn't realize it till it was too late. Oh Well,...
POOHPOOH HAPPENS!!!
"Krebs Bio. laughed all the way too the bank with the Amezcua brothers."

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
