Energy Production Through the Kreb’s Cycle
Energy is essential to cellular function and we can get this energy by metabolizing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The Kreb’s Cycle (also known as the TCA Cycle & Citric Acid Cycle) is a critical component for macronutrient metabolism and energy conversion for all 3 of these nutrients. The complete metabolism for each of them must, at some point, go through the Kreb’s Cycle. For a more indepth discussion of this pathway, keep reading.
Glycolysis Step-by-Step
As stated previously, glycolysis is essential for converting carbohydrates to ATP, the energy currency of the cell. A previous post discussed the overall process. Some people want more information on how this process occurs. This article is for you! Read more
