Interconnected biochemical reactions releasing energy
The citric acid cycle—also known as the Krebs cycle, Szent–Györgyi–Krebs cycle, or TCA cycle(tricarboxylic acid cycle)—is a series of biochemical reactions to release the energy stored in nutrients through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and alcohol. The chemical energy released is available in the form of ATP. The Krebs cycle is used by organisms that respire (as opposed to organisms that ferment) to generate energy, either by anaerobic respirationor aerobic respiration. In addition, the cycle provides precursors of certain amino acids, as well as the reducing agentNADH, that are used in numerous other reactions. Its central importance to many biochemical pathways suggests that it was one of the earliest components of metabolism. Even though it is branded as a “cycle”, it is not necessary for metabolites to follow only one specific route; at least three alternative segments of the citric acid cycle have been recognized.
