The cellular equivalent of an existential crisis. Two Acetyl-CoA molecules visit a carnival inside the mitochondrial matrix, where the main attraction is the Krebs cycle masquerading as a ferris wheel. "I heard we won't be the same after going on the Citric wheel!" One molecule says, unaware of the metabolic transformation awaiting them. They'll literally be broken down into CO2 and electrons while generating ATP. Talk about an extreme makeover. The mitochondria doesn't just provide the powerhouse experience—it runs a full-on molecular disassembly theme park.
