1. Krebs Cycle

he Krebs cycle is a series of enzyme-catalyzed biochemical reactions in which acetyl-CoA is oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO₂), producing energy-rich molecules such as NADH, FADH₂, and GTP (or ATP). It is also known as the citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Site of the Krebs Cycle - In eukaryotic cells: Mitochondrial matrix. - Exception: Succinate dehydrogenase is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
