CITRIC ACID CYCLE
The Citric acid Cycle is also called the "Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle (TCA) and the "Krebs Cycle." This cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that completes the catabolic pathway for the Glucose molecule that started glycolysis. Energy from the Citric Acid Cycle is captured by electron carriers (NAD and FAD). Also, ATP is generated at one of the steps in this cycle. Remember that you will be expected to understand the citric acid cycle at the level it is shown in the summary figure you have previously downloaded.
