The pyruvic acid that is produced by glycolysis is used as the initial input for the Krebs Cycle (also called citric acid cycle). In the initial step of the Krebs Cycle, the pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl-CoA via pyruvate decarboxylation. This continues a series of chemical reactions leading to the production of 2 ATP molecules.

∙ 11y agoPyruvic acid is the end product of glycolysis that enters the mitochondria for the Kreb's cycle. Pyruvic acid however does not enter the mitochondria in the acid form; instead it enters in the form of salts and as the anionic pyruvate.

How do cells use a high-calorie molecule such as glucose?
the glucose is break down in the cell by 1)glycolysis 2)preparation of pyruvic acid 3) kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle or CAC or tricarboxylic acid cycle 4)oxidative phosphorylation and after that ATP is produced which is the energy currency of our body

Where is NADH or FADH used and produced during microbial metabolism?
what is FADH use a glycolysis, or citric acid cycle, or electron transport, or aoligosaccharide, or a plasmid
Do all microorganisms use pyruvic acid in the same way?
no, pyruvate is a product of the EM, ED and pentose phosphate pathways. these utilise glucose with the end product of pyruvate. this can then have many fates. it can enter the Krebs cycle and be used to generate energy and be used for biosynthesis or it can be fermented into ethanol or lactic acid in anaerobic conditions.
What come after glycolysis?
After glycolysis you will go through bridging reaction to the Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle because of the use of citric acid. the reducing power generated indirectly helps to power oxidative phosphorylation that occurs, which yields a total of 34 ATP's from one glucose molecule. Good luck
What is the purpose of the Krebs cycle in a cell?
The purpose of the Krebs Cycle is basically to produce NADH+H and FADH2. Pyruvic acid enters the Krebs Cycle than goes through a series of reactions and the final product is six NADH+H and two FADH2. These energy carriers are than sent to the electron transport chain. The Krebs cycle goes around twice for every molecule.

Does the electon transport chain use high energy electons from the Krebs cycle?
No
How does electron transport chain use the high energy electron from the Krebs cycle?
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP.
How does the purpose of the Krebs cycle differ from the purpose of the Calvin cylce?
The Krebs Cycle's purpose is to produce ATP that cells can use, occurs in animal cells. The Calvin Cycle is in chloroplasts and is used to produce glucose for cells. *
Krebs cycle anaerobic or aerobic?
Aerobic. The Krebs cycle is a way of producing ATP using oxygen. The use of oxygen for energy production means Aerobic (as opposed to Anaerobic or without-oxygen).
How does fermentation affect the muscular system?
In muscle cells, form of fermentation takes place. When muscle cells contract too frequently (as in strenuous exercise), they rapidly use up their oxygen supply. As a result, the electron transport system and Krebs cycle slow considerably, and ATP production is slowed. However, muscle cells have the ability to produce a small amount of ATP through glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. The muscle cells convert glucose to pyruvic acid. Then an enzyme in the muscle cells converts the pyruvic acid to lactic acid. Eventually, however, the lactic acid buildup causes intense fatigue, and the muscle cell stops contracting.Cited from:CliffsNotes.com. Fermentation. 1 Mar 2011

What is the purpose of the accounting cycle?
The purpose of accounting is to provide important financial information in order to make fast and precise decisions. The Krebs Cycle's purpose is to produce ATP that cells can use, occurs in animal cells. The Krebs Cycle is in chloroplasts and is used to produce gluclose for cell
