Question

give scientific reasons for Krebs cycle is also known as citric acid cycle

Answer 1

The citric acid cycle (CAC) – also known as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle or the Krebs cycle[1][2] – is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In addition, the cycle provides precursors of certain amino acids, as well as the reducing agent NADH, that are used in numerous other biochemical reactions. Its central importance to many biochemical pathways suggests that it was one of the earliest established components of cellular metabolism and may have originated abiogenically.[3][4]. Even though it is branded as a 'cycle', it is not necessary for metabolites to follow only one specific route; at least three segments of the citric acid cycle have been recognized [5].

hope it clarifies ur doubt dear friend...

Answer 2

Hi,


L'acide citrique tire son nom du citron qui est riche. Cet acide organique est utilisé dans l'alimentaire pour son rôle de régulation de l'acidité des aliments. Il est produit par fermentation. Exemples d'utilisations : jus de fruits et boissons aux fruits, confitures, confiseries...
