This quiz is designed to help test your knowledge and understanding of the key concepts of the TCA cycle (also known as the Krebs or Citric Acid cycle) and its regulation.

Each of our quizzes contains randomised question, so each attempt will be different! After you submit the answers for each question, hints and feedback are given to explain where you might have gone wrong or why you were right. Take the quiz now and see how much of an expert you are!

(For calculations you can assume that approximately 3.0 ATP are produced per NADH and 2.0 ATP per FADH2)

5 Sample Questions
