2. Where does it take place?
3. What are the chemicals used to make it happen?
4. What are the products?

Answer 1

1. What is it? the 2nd stage of celluar respiration that prepares high energy electrons for the electron tansport chian
2. Where does it take place? in the membrane of the mitochondrion
3. What are the chemicals used to make it happen? Acetyl-CoA + 3 NAD+ + FAD + GDP + Pi + 2 H2O + 1 CoA-SH
4. What are the products?2 CoA-SH + 3 NADH + 3 H+ + FADH2 + GTP + 2 CO2 + 1 H2O

Answer 2

Krebs Cycle:

"The krebs cycle completes the job of oxidizing the carbon that originated with gucose, forming CO2 and ATP (energy)."
Takes place in our cells.

Here is the reaction: (products on the right, reactants on the left)
aceyl-CoA (an enzyme) + 3 NAD(coenzyme) + FAD (coenzyme) + ADP = 2 CO2 + CoA + 3 NADH2 + FADH2 +ATP (energy)

Pretty much the krebs cycle takes these reactants and produces a product that can be used for energy.
