Question

Kreb's cycle is also known as citric acid cycle.Give scientific reasons

Answer 1

Kreb cycle is also known as citric acid cycle because it 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).

Answer 2

Answer => Citric Cycle

Explanation :

Sir Hans Kreb proposed this cycle and hence it is called as Krebs cycle. These are series of cyclic chain reactions which begins with acetyl coenzyme-A molecules which act with molecules of oxaloacetic acid.

The reactions are catalysed with the help of specific enzymes. The first molecule formed in this reaction is called as citric acid.

Therefore, Krebs cycle is also called Citric acid cycle.
