No, although I should have. I remember the name of most of the molecules but that's it.

It's how acetyl-CoA is broken down further to produce components that can be used in the electron transport chain to produce ATP, although it also serves some other purposes like producing compounds that can be used for synthesis of certain amino acids etc.
One of the molecules actually is involved in production of glucose as well, oxaloacetate is used in gluconeogenesis which has glucose as its end product, but for gluconeogenesis I don't think you actually use the krebs cycle for this you'd rather just go from pyruvate
I don't know this stuff that well though so I could be wrong
