Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Kreb’s Cycle is also known as:
A
The Pyruvic Cycle
B
The Respirational Cycle
C
The Citric Acid Cycle
D
The Berk Cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Krebs cycle is the main source of energy for cells and is a crucial part of aerobic respiration. It consumes pyruvate to produce carbon dioxide, ATP, NADH, and FADH. The first product formed in the cycle is citric acid. Thus it is also known as the citric acid cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The TCA cycle is also known as the Krebs Cycle (named for its discoverer, Hans Adolf Krebs) and the citric acid cycle (named after the intermediate citric acid, or citrate).

Detailed explanation-3: -Krebs cycle reactions begin with the formation of citric acid which contains three (COOH) carboxylic groups. Hence it is called the T.C.A. cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the Krebs Cycle? Also known as the citric acid cycle, the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle is a chain of reactions occurring in the mitochondria, through which almost all living cells produce energy in aerobic respiration. It uses oxygen and gives out water and carbon dioxide as products.
