What is another word for citric acid cycle?
Pronunciation: [sˈɪtɹɪk ˈasɪd sˈa͡ɪkə͡l] (IPA) 
The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle, is a fundamental process in the metabolism of aerobic organisms. This cycle plays a crucial role in energy production, converting carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into a form of energy that cells can use. As a result, it has garnered several alternative terms, including the TCA cycle, or tri-carboxylic acid cycle, and the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle. Additionally, it has been referred to as the citrate cycle and the cycle of citric acid. While these names all refer to the same fundamental metabolic pathway, the use of alternatives can be helpful in avoiding repetition and maintaining clarity in scientific discussions.
