The conguate base of citric acid - citrate - is an important intermediate in the cycle. This is where the name "Citric Acid Cycle" comes from.
It is also known as the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle - as it involves 3 carbon acids, or the Krebs Cycle after Hans Adolf Krebs - who developed the complexities of the cycle.

What is the molecule that is regenerated with every turn of the Krebs cycle?
Each turn of the Kreb's cycle must regenerate oxaloacetate.
What is the name applied to the cycle by which ATP is broken down to ADP with the release of energy and the regeneration of ATP from ADP through the process of phosphorylation?
ATP Cycle or the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle.
How many ATP are produced in Glycolosis and the kreb cycle and then electron transport chain?
The ATP yield in glycolysis is 2, citric acid cycle is 2, and the electron transport chain (ETC) is 34. ATP created from ETC was originally from the NADH and FADH2. In glycolysis and the citric acid cycle it was pyruvate oxidation.
What is is the full name of DNA?

How is the breakdown of pyruvic acid related to the citirc acid cycle?
It is the carboxylate ion of pyruvic acid, called pyruvate (3C), which passes into the mitochondrial matrix; it loses 1 carbon (as CO2) in the link reaction, & the remaining 2C product enters the citric acid cycle for final breakdown of the carbon chain.
What is another name for the Krebs cycle?
Tricarboxylic acid cycle, the citric acid cycle, and the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle
What is the name of the acid in lemons?
Citric acid (which is responsible for the sour taste) and ascorbic acid (which most of us know as vitamin C).
What does ATP deal with?
It is the chemical name for the energy produced in the mitochondria of the cell. Most are produced in the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.
Is there another name for citric acid?
Citric acid is sometimes referred to as sour salt when being sold as an ingredient for cooking. However, it is most oftenreferred to by its technical name, citric acid
Where does citric acid come from?
How is citric acid produced? Good question! citric acid is produced in a cycle called Krebs Cycle. As Pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrion, carbon is removed,forming co2, and electrons are removed, changing NAD+ to NADH. Co-enzyme A joins the 2-carbon molecule, forming acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA then adds the 2 carbon acetyl group to a 4-carbon compound, forming citric acid. Before the Krebs cycle there is the glycolysis cycle. In this cycle the product is the pyruvic acid. So after that the Krebs cycle or the Citric acid cycle starts, which starts off with pyruvic acid. Then the election transport cycle. This might be confusing but if you see a diagram of these cycles, that will help you a lot! hi my name is austin im looking for more firends so if you see this add me on facebook @ sexyzigrat@hotmail.com :)

What are the ingredients in citric acid?
Citric acid is a weak organic acid with IUPAC name of 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid and molecular formula of C6H8O7. There are no ingredients in citric acid. But citric acid is one of the ingredients in lemons, oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits.
