The Citric Acid CycleThe reductive citric acid cycle behaves like a chemical hurricane. Carbon atoms from CO 2 (yellow and orange) attach at either end of molecules. As the cycle proceeds ...

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. Within the mitochondrion, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative metabolism occurs at the internal folded mitochondrial ...

Researchers have new insights into the citric acid cycle: Certain bacteria can use this central metabolic pathway 'backwards', but to do so they must have very high concentrations of the enzyme ...

The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a series of reactions in a closed loop that are fundamental for cellular respiration. The citric acid ...
