Answer 1

hey..
here's ur answer...
the citric acid cycle is also known as Krebs cycle- is a series of chemical reaction used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation acetyl-coA derived from carbohydrates,fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)....
thanks...
hope it will help u....

Answer 2

The Kreb's cycle is also called as citric acis cycle, because the citrase which is actalysed in this reaction has "3-carboxyl group".

Explanation:

• Acetyl coenzyme-A which reacts in "the presence of water" with the "oxaloacetate in a cell", that results in the forming of '6-carbon citrate' and "freeing coenzyme-A" for the reuse in "pyruvate oxidation".
• The "high-energy bond" of "acetyl coenzyme-A" provides enough energy for this reaction.
• The reaction is totally catalyzed by the "citrate synthetase enzyme". The citrate has "3-carboxyl group".
• Hence, 'Krebs cycle' is also called "citric acid cycle" or "TCA cycle" after its first product.
