Krebs cycle (Citric acid cycle)

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a critical process inside cells that generates energy. It occurs in the mitochondria, where nutrients from food are broken down. During the cycle, these nutrients are transformed into a molecule called ATP, which provides energy for various bodily functions. Additionally, the process produces other molecules used in energy production and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product. Overall, the Krebs cycle is essential for converting food into usable energy, supporting all cellular activities and maintaining overall health.
