Vitamins, especially the B vitamins, play extremely important roles in producing cellular energy. Vitamins B2 and B3, for example, supply the major building blocks for substances called flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD and FADH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD and NADH) which are critical elements of producing energy in the Krebs cycle as well as a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Thiamine is the cofactor of Thiamine pyrophosphate enzyme (TPP).

How did the citric acid cycle get its name what is the origin of citric acid cycle?

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.
