During the citric acid cycle, acetate derived from carbohydrates, proteins and fats is oxidized in a step-by-step process that yields ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, the molecule that transports the chemical energy that cells need for metabolism.
By Lydia DePillis By Lydia DePillis November 6, 2013. Earlier in the summer, the Federal Trade Commission sanctioned car rental giant Hertz's $2.3 billion acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, under one main condition: It had to sell Advantage, one of its brands, on the theory that a new private equity owner could create a viable competitor.
The Hertz Corporation, originally known as Rent-a-Car Inc., was founded by Chicago, Illinois native Walter L. Jacobs in 1918. This small car rental operation began with a dozen Model T Ford cars. Within five years, Jacobâs fleet expanded to 600 vehicles - generating annual revenues of approximately $1 million USD.
