What is the function of the citric acid cycle or the kreb's cycle?

The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria. Its main function is to oxidize acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to produce energy in the form of ATP. It also generates reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH2 that are used in the electron transport chain to further produce ATP.

In full starting with 1s and through each level. The noble gas form, where only the electrons above the highest noble gas configuration are shown, the noble gas is in square brackets. Example chlorine 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p5 [Ne]) 3s2 3p5


Explain the phrase like dissolves like and give an example of two like substances?

In chemistry, the term like dissolves like refers to the fact that similar type solutes will dissolve in solvents that have a similar type of chemical composition. Substances like water, acetone, and alcohol are polar molecules and so are soluble in each other. Substances that form non-polar molecules like oil and gasoline are soluble in each other. However, oil will not dissolve in water because of their different chemical bonds.
