Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:The Kreb’s cycle is the same thing as the citric acid cycle
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Kreb’s cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle because the first product formed during the cycle is citric acid. Citric acid is formed by the condensation of an acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Calvin cycle is an anabolic pathway that is a light-independent cycle that leads to the synthesis of glucose. Whereas the citric acid cycle (TCA) is a catabolic pathway that results in the synthesis of reduced coenzymes NADH and ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
