Question
Give the schematic representation of an overall view of Krebs' cycle.
Solution
The Krebs cycle is a process that occurs in mitochondria. These require many enzymes and electron transport systems (ETS).
The acetyl CoA then enters a cyclic pathway, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, more commonly called Krebs’ cycle after the scientist Hans Krebs, who first elucidated it.
