Krebs Cycle Definition
The Krebs Cycle, also called the citric acid cycle, is the second major step in oxidative phosphorylation. After glycolysis breaks glucose into smaller 3-carbon molecules, the Krebs cycle transfers the energy from these molecules to electron carriers, which will be used in the electron transport chain to produce ATP.
Most organisms use glucose as a major fuel source, but must break down this glucose and store the energy in ATP and other molecules. The Krebs cycle is contained within mitochondria. Within the mitochondrial matrix, the reactions of the Krebs cycle adds electrons and protons to a number of electron carriers, which are then used by the electron transport chain to produce ATP.
