ATP doesn't do anything in the Krebs cycle; it is the product of the cycle. Now, glycolysis precedes the Krebs cycle, and it requires an investment of 2 molecules of ATP to produce 4. Glycolysis breaks down glucose into 2
3-carbon molecules of pyruvate. The pyruvate moves into the mitochondria, where it enters the Krebs cycle, and is further broken down (in several steps) to carbon dioxide and water. The purpose of these steps is (through the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis) to produce more ATP.

It does nothing. Kreb cycle creates it through enzyme subrate phosphorylation. Look it up, I'm right.

ATP is main supporting sources in a krap cycle , ATP are converted into ADP ,this is simple eneergy souces,

ATP is your energy source.
krebs cycle is one stage of making that ATP.
i believe Succinyl CoA releases CoA and phosphorylates ADP into ATP. that way the next stage can occure (succinate)
