    GlossaryKrebs cycle (Tricarboxylic acid cycle)

    series of reactions in mitochondria generating cellular energy

    The Krebs cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle or TCA cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This cycle takes place in the mitochondria and produces ATP, NADH, and FADH2, which are essential for cellular energy and metabolism.
