In a word, yes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid_cycle
Its called the Krebs cycle in some textbooks after the scientist who discovered it. Its called the citric acid cycle because one of the steps involves citric acid. This cycle generates most of the ATP in the human body. This site says GTP instead of ATP, but they are really almost identical compounds and do the same thing. Biology is riddled with subtle distinctions and redundant nomenclature!
