Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The second stage of aerobic respiration takes place inside mitochondria. It includes two groups of reaction-formation of acetyl-CoA and Krebs cycle. The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle or TCA cycle. This is called a cycle because the final reaction in the pathway restarts the substrate of the first. In this case, the substrate of the first Krebs cycle first reaction and the product of the last reaction is the four-carbon oxaloacetate.
