Answer 2

The Krebs cycle, which is also known as the citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle, is part of a series of chemical reactions that organisms use to break food down into a form of energy that cells can use.

It is called citric acid cycle because the citric acid is both the first product and the final reactant.
