After pyruvate is brought into the mitochondrion, it undergoes a series of reactions known as pyruvate decarboxylation. In this process, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA by removing one carbon dioxide molecule. Acetyl-CoA then enters the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle) to generate ATP and electron carriers for subsequent energy production.

What happens after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondrion?

It is carried by specific transporters (the negative charge on pyruvate won't allow it to diffuse) before being acted on by pyruvate dehydrogenase. I don't think these transports are named.


What happens immendiately after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria?

After pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria, it undergoes a series of enzymatic reactions called pyruvate decarboxylation. In this process, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle) to produce energy in the form of ATP.
