Question

Explain the reactions of tricarboxylic acid(TCA)cycle and its role in energy production

Answer 1

Citric Acid Cycle is an important series of biochemical reactions that are intrinsic to cellular respiration and the generation of energy from oxygen and glucose in aerobic organisms. Although humans can generate energy anaerobically, they cannot do so for long periods and oxygen is essential for life because it fuels the Krebs Cycle. Without this cycle, there would be no available energy to maintain our vital processes.

Were it not for the Krebs Cycle, your body could not use the glucose as described above to generate energy.
