Acetyl CoA forms.
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.

according to the Holt biology book of 2009, mitochondrion is no longer in use

Mitochondrion. It happens in the matrix, i believe.
Pyruvate decarboxylation -> Acetaldehyde reduction The product is ethanol. Pyruvate decarboxylation is performed by pyruvate decarxylase with cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate, and the product, acetaldehyde, is reduced by NADH. (Pyruvate decarboxylase is NOT the same as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in cellular respiration. Though pyruvate dehydrogenase also decarboxylates pyruvate, but the decarboxlated species immediately reacts with CoA to form acetyl-CoA).
it forms a highly coloured hydrazone
The lactate is taken to the liver and converted back to pyruvate.
