Kreb’s cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
Several intermediate compounds are formed, which contain three carboxylic groups and therefore the process is called as tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA).
First, the condensation of acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid (OAA) and water takes place to yield citric acid, catalysed by the enzyme citrate synthase and a molecule of CoA is released.
Citrate is then isomerised to isocitrate, which is followed by two successive steps of decarboxylation, leading to the formation of α-ketoglutaric acid and then succinyl-CoA.
Succinyl-CoA is oxidised to OAA allowing the cycle to continue and during the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinic acid a molecule of GTP is synthesised.
In a coupled reaction, GTP is converted to GDP with the simultaneous synthesis of ATP from ADP.

Pyruvic acid + 4 NAD⁺ + FAD⁺ + 2H₂O + ADP + Pi à 3CO₂+ 4NADH + 4H⁺+ FADH₂+ ATP

During the process, 8NADH₂, 2FADH₂, 2 GTPs are formed.

Since there is decomposition we need to provide energy hence it is non spontaneous ..........but you didnt salute me ..........as i gave the answer of how water is used as fire extinguisher...

An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. They are often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis—the Greek word lysis means to break up.
