Generation

The citric acid cycle (TCA cycle or Krebs cycle) is the central metabolic pathway that oxidizes acetyl-CoA from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to generate energy. It produces electron carriers (NADH and FADH₂) that fuel the electron transport chain for ATP synthesis, along with GTP and CO₂ as byproducts. The cycle also provides essential biosynthetic precursors for amino acids, nucleotides, and other cellular molecules.
