Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the another name for Krebs cycle?
A
Citric acid cycle
B
Dicarboxylic acid cycle
C
Nitric acid cycle
D
Oxidative phosphorylation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Krebs cycle The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle, is one of the most important reaction sequences in biochemistry.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, also known as the Krebs or citric acid cycle, is the main source of energy for cells and an important part of aerobic respiration. The cycle harnesses the available chemical energy of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) into the reducing power of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).

Detailed explanation-3: -tricarboxylic acid cycle, (TCA cycle), also called Krebs cycle and citric acid cycle, the second stage of cellular respiration, the three-stage process by which living cells break down organic fuel molecules in the presence of oxygen to harvest the energy they need to grow and divide.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The Krebs cycle (named after Hans Krebs) is a part of cellular respiration. Its other names are the citric acid cycle, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle). The “Krebs cycle” is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms in their energy conversion processes.
