Question

Why is the citric acid cycle considered part of aerobic metabolism, even though molecular oxygen does not appear in any reaction

Chemical pathways by which living things function, especially those that provide cellular energy, such as the transformation of energy from food into the energy of ATP. Metabolism also focuses on chemical pathways involving the synthesis of new biomolecules and the elimination of waste.
