Que utilidad tiene el ciclo de krebs para los seres vivos

The major function of the TCA cycle is to provide energy in the form of ATP in anabolic pathways. In addition, the TCA cycle also serves as a pool of intermediates and/or precursors for anabolic functions, e. g. amino acid biosynthesis.

The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle, is at the center of cellular metabolism, playing a starring role in both the process of energy production and biosynthesis. It finishes the sugar-breaking job started in glycolysis and fuels the production of ATP in the process.
