what is Krebs cycle
Answers
Answer:
it is taking place in mitochondria bascially in this reaction glucose and oxygen synthesis is performed it is aerobic type of respiration it takes place in both anerobic respiration sir hans kreb had given this type of synthesis
Answer:
All living cells require energy to perform their cellular processes. Glucose if broken down in the cells to release energy in the form of ATP. ATP is considered to be energy coin of the cell. Glucose is broken down by a set of metabolic enzymes that catalyse biochemical reactions inside the cell.
Glucose can be oxidised to obtain energy necessary to perform bodily functions. The pathways which release stored energy by breaking down complex molecules are called as catabolic pathways.Glucose undergoes glycolysis pathway to form 2 molecules of pyruvate. Pyruvate in the presence of oxygen (aerobic conditions) undergoes TriCarboxylic Acid cycle to synthesise many ATP molecules, energy coins of the cell.
Krebs' cycle involves a set of enzymatic reactions taking part in mitochondria in the presence of oxygen to yield energy rich molecules. It is also called as Tricarboxylic acid cycle. The net gain of aerobic respiration at the end of Krebs' cycle is 2 ATP molecules, 8 molecules of NADH+H+ and 2 molecules of FADH2. As we know, ATP is the energy rich coin of the cell utilised for different purposes.
