It is changed into Acetyl CoA, which is then used in the citric acid cycle (aka Krebs Cycle).
Glucose turn into pyruvate in cytoplasm.Then transported into mitochondria.
pyruvate
in cyptoplasm of the prokaryotic cell
pyruvate is con verted into ethanol and carbon dioxide
smooth endoplasmic reticula
The cytoplasm
No, pyruvate is a molecule produced from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis.
cytoplasm
pyruvate
There will be a buildup of pyruvate in the cell
Pyruvate oxidation occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria

The cytoplasm
Pyruvate processing occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria
The process of breaking down starch to pyruvate is glycolysis. This reaction takes place in one of the cell organelles - mitochondria.
2 ATP molecules are used to break the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm. Then the pyruvate travels to the mitochondria, where it is broken down further and produces 34 ATP molecules, which are used to power a cell.
