The Krebs cycle is a series of enzymatic reactions that catalyzes the aerobic metabolism of fuel molecules to carbon dioxide and water, thereby generating energy for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. The Krebs cycle is so named because much of its elucidation was the work of the British biochemist Hans Krebs. Many types of fuel molecules can be drawn into and utilized by the cycle, including acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA), derived from glycolysis or fatty acid oxidation . 
Much more ATP is made by the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation than by glycolysis alone. In eukaryotic cells , pyruvate is transported to the mitochondrial matrix , where the Krebs cycle takes place.
