Sir Hans Adolf Krebs, FRS (, German:[hansˈʔaːdɔlfˈkʁeːps]ⓘ; 25 August 1900 – 22 November 1981)[1][2][3][4] was a German-British biologist, physician and biochemist.[5] He was a pioneer scientist in the study of cellular respiration, a biochemical process in living cells that extracts energy from food and oxygen and makes it available to drive the processes of life.[6][7] He is best known for his discoveries of two important sequences of chemical reactions that take place in the cells of nearly all organisms, including humans, other than anaerobic microorganisms, namely the citric acid cycle and the urea cycle. The former, often eponymously known as the "Krebs cycle", is the sequence of metabolic reactions that allows cells of oxygen-respiring organisms to obtain far more ATP from the food they consume than anaerobic processes such as glycolysis can supply; and its discover

Early life and education
John Krebs is the son of Sir Hans Adolf Krebs, the German biochemist who described the uptake and release of energy in cells (the Krebs cycle).[6] He was educated at the City of Oxford High School, and Pembroke College, Oxford, where he obtained a BA degree in 1966, upgraded to an MA degree in 1970, and received a DPhil degree in 1970.[3][1]
