Chapter 9, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Two important roles of the citric acid cycle.
Introduction:
The citric acid cycle was discovered by Hans Krebs. Hence, it is also known as the Krebs cycle. In this process, the chemical energy stored in acetyl-CoA (coenzyme A) and a two-carbon molecule, containing an acetyl grou, pre liberated.
