During the citric acid cycle, what happens to acetyl-coa?

Acetyl-CoA donates two carbon atoms which eventually releases as carbon dioxide at the end of Citric Acid Cycle or Kerb Cycle.

Explanation:

Acetyl coenzyme A converts to oxaloacetate which then enters into the kerbs cycle or citric Acid cycle.  

In the first stage of Citric Acid Cycle (CAC), the two carbon atoms of acetyl group i.e acetyl CoA combine with four carbon atom of oxaloacetate molecule and produce citrate which is a six carbon molecule. Thus, in general it can be said that each acetyl group contribute two carbon atoms in CAC and by the end of CAC these two carbon atoms are released as carbon dioxide.  

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
