Q. Alternate name of Krebs' cycle is

Respiration in Plants

Solution:

Krebs' cycle was discovered by Sir Hans Krebs in $1937$ (Nobel Prize in $1953$) and thus is named so. Krebs' cycle is also called as citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle ($TCA$ cycle) after the name of its first product. Citric acid is a tricarboxylic $6$-carbon compound.
