Answer: The correct answer is Kreb cycle or TCA cycle ( tricarboxylic acid cycle).
Pyruvic acid, the end product of glycolysis is converted into acetyl CoA, which enters into Kreb cycle.
Kreb cycle is a metabolic process that occurs in all aerobic organisms and includes the oxidation of acetyl Co-A ( acetyl coenzyme A) to yield net 3 NADH, 1 FADH₂, and 1 ATP/GTP. It occurs in mitochondrial matrix.
The NADH and FADH₂ further enters into electron transport chain to produce large amount of energy in the form of ATP molecules.
