Ciclo de Krebs

The students' understanding of the Krebs cycle allows the generation of cognitive competences in the understanding and articulation between the Krebs cycle and other metabolic processes integrated to it, such as glycolysis (prior to the Krebs cycle) and the generation of energy in form of ATP in oxidative phosphorylation, a phenomenon after the Krebs cycle and dependent on the generation of electrons stored in molecular transporters NAD and FAD.

Due to the complexity of understanding the integrated process from the entry of a glucose molecule and its metabolization to products that enter this cycle of enzymatic reactions of the Krebs cycle and the consequent final generation of energy in the cell, it is necessary to generate new strategies didactics supported by augmented reality so that the student can understand and integrate concepts related to metabolism in living beings.
