Krebs Cycle

The Krebs cycle or Krebs cycle is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves several oxidative steps of oxidation of substrates using oxygen to produce large amounts of energy, which is stored in the form of ATP. The full name of this cycle is the Kalman-Krebs-Hempelman cycle or simply the Krebbs cycle.

A substance or molecule is first broken down (split) into the simplest substances (the so-called energy carriers, or electron acceptors), and then they break down into a set of energetic acceptor molecules (usually carbon monoxide). The next step in the cycle involves the oxidation (conversion) of some of these substances or molecules (but not all) into substances containing hydrogen atoms, which are used further for a more complete cycle. The oxidation products, some of which include water, evaporate, leaving behind intermediate molecules that carry energy. The next stage involves repeating the entire cycle, which continues until the energy contained in the gap
