For ten points, name this metabolic cycle occurring prior to the electron transport chain, named for a Hungarian dude.
The dehydrogenase complex that precedes this process utilizes biotin as a cofactor, and the product of the elimination reaction in its second-to-last step can feed into the C4 cycle. The only energy that it produces directly is a GTP molecule, but it also creates critical NADH molecules that will later donate electrons. Its intermediates include alpha-ketoglutarate, fumarate, and malate among others, and it begins with the reaction of oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA.
