This process is essential for the utilization of fatty acids for energy. Coenzyme A is used as a substrate in the citric acid cycle. The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). This process is important to the production of ATP, which is an energy source used by the body. | ||
