The main role of the TCA (Tricarboxylic Acid) cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle, is to generate a lot of H+ (hydrogen ions) and produce most of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that is synthesized in cellular respiration. It does not involve the production of pyruvic acid, as pyruvic acid is formed during glycolysis. Gluconeogenesis is a separate process involved in the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.
