The Krebs cycle (also called the Citric Acid Cycle) is one of the most crucial biochemical pathways in our cells. Taking place in the mitochondria, this cycle plays a key role in breaking down fuel molecules to generate ATP—the energy currency of life!

Electron transport chain (ETC)
The electron transport chain (ETC) is the final stage of cellular respiration, occurring in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It involves a series of protein complexes (I–IV) and mobile carriers that transfer electrons derived from NADH and FADH₂ to oxygen, the final electron acceptor, forming water. As electrons move through the chain, protons (H⁺) are pumped across the membrane, creating a proton gradient. This gradient drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase, a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. The ETC is essential for generating the majority of ATP in aerobic organisms.

If you haven’t seen “How To Train Your Dragon”, I’m about to spoil it with riboflavin (vitamin B2). In that movie, wild dragons are stealing the villager’s sheep. One boy discovers the dragons aren’t actually eating the sheep, they’re just dumping them into this giant hole. Turns out, there’s a colossal dragon in the hole, and if we pretend the sheep are hydrogen atoms it’s a great metaphor for the Electron Transport Chain. 🤓💚🔬🐉🐑🐊 In the body, there are all these (“redox”) reactions going on where Hydrogen atoms are passed around like the gravy dish at Thanks🦃giving dinner. This hydrogen passing occurs in fat metabolism (beta-oxidation) and carbohydrate metabolism (the Krebs cycle). In each case, RIBOFLAVIN’s JOB is to COLLECT the HYDROGEN atoms, CARRY them to a certain spot, and DROP them into the Electronic Transport Chain (or “ETC”). When ETC is fed Hydrogen atoms, the result is HEAPS of metabolic ENERGY. In a previous book excerpt, we talked about how thiamin would be a leader if the B-vitamins were all Marvel Avengers. If B-vitamins were all SUPERHEROES and you were ASSEMBLING your dream squad for an energy drink, YOU’D WANT RIBOFLAVIN in the mix too. To learn more about riboflavin and the other B-vitamins, stay tuned for next week’s book excerpt as we continue our page-by-page exploration through the Energy Drink Guide. . #riboflavin #vitamins #biochem #energydrink #scienceofenergydrinks #vitaminsinenergydrinks #vitaminmetabolism #marvel #avengers #squadgoals #bvitamins #electrontransportchain #etc #bookexcerpt #readthebook #bookworm #bookstagram #bookclub #nutrition #energydrinks #foodscientist #biochemist #biochemistry #foodscience #sheep #dragons #metaphor #metabolism #metaphors #howtotrainyourdragon #themoreyouknow #dyk #fyi
