WHAT DOES KREBS CYCLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Citric acid cycle

The citric acid cycle — also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle, — is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetate derived from carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate. In addition, the cycle provides precursors of certain amino acids as well as the reducing agent NADH that is used in numerous other biochemical reactions. Its central importance to many biochemical pathways suggests that it was one of the earliest established components of cellular metabolism and may have originated abiogenically. The name of this metabolic pathway is derived from citric acid that is consumed and then regenerated by this sequence of reactions to complete the cycle. In addition, the cycle consumes acetate and water, reduces NAD+ to NADH, and produces carbon dioxide as a waste byproduct. The NADH generated by the TCA cycle is fed into the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. The net result of these two closely linked pathways is the oxidation of nutrients to produce usable chemical energy in the form of ATP.

Definition of Krebs cycle in the English dictionary

The definition of Krebs cycle in the dictionary is a stage of tissue respiration: a series of biochemical reactions occurring in mitochondria in the presence of oxygen by which acetate, derived from the breakdown of foodstuffs, is converted to carbon dioxide and water, with the release of energy Also called: citric acid cycle, tricarboxylic acid cycle.
