Best Answer

if you're talking about after the carbons are exhaled through CO2 the the pyruvate need to give off more CO2 for it to be Acetyl Co-A to pass through the mitochondrial membrane to go through the Krebs cycle. so in the Krebs cycle it's acetyl Co-A. Then it goes to the electron transport chain.

What Krebs cycle step releases carbon dioxide?

When Pyruvic Acid is formed. The pyruvic acid molecules have one of their carbon atoms removed, in the form of CO2. The CO2 will then form coenzymes--> the enzymes that will form will continue on into the electron transport chain.

Can pyruvic acid use in the Krebs cycle?

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.
