Question

In unit 2 we learned that the TCA cycle (the citric acid cycle) is a sequence of reactions in mitochondria that oxidizes the acetyl moiety of acetyl-CoA to CO2 and reduces coenzymes that are reoxidized through the electron transport chain. What is is another name for this cycle? Also, name at least three enzymes that are involved in the cycle and briefly explain how they work in the cycle.
