Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of the Krebs cycle?
  • Step 1: Understand that the Krebs cycle is a series of chemical reactions in the body.
  • Step 2: Know that it takes place in the mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of the cell.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the cycle starts with a molecule called acetyl-CoA.
  • Step 4: Learn that the main purpose of the cycle is to break down acetyl-CoA to release energy.
  • Step 5: Remember that this energy is stored in molecules called ATP, which cells use for various functions.
  • Step 6: Realize that the Krebs cycle also produces other important molecules that help in energy production.
