Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
acetyl CoA then it meets with Krebs cycle and turns into citric acid
Acetyl co-enzyme A
Acetyl-coenzyme A, or Acetyl-CoA
Acetyl CoA
glycolysisNote:Glycolysis, or the splitting of sugar, splits a six-carbon glucose into two three-carbon pyruvate molecules.It is called glycolosis
Pyruvate is produced at the end of glycoysis and converted into Acetyl CoA and then used in tricarboxylic acid (aka Kreb's, citric acid) cycle to ultimately more ATP.

Pyruvate is formed from glucose during glycolysis. Should the conditions be aerobic, pyruvate will be converted into Acetyl Coenzyme A (CoA) with the help of an enzyme called "pyruvate dehydrogenase." Bi-products of this reaction include CO2 and NADH This occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. Acetyl CoA will then continue into the Krebs cycle/citric acid cycle. After this, the products of the cycle (NADH and FADH2) will be involved in oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain where large amounts of ATP will be produced. This occurs in the inner layer of the mitochondria. Should there be anaerobic conditions, then animals can convert pyruvate into lactate. Or, in plants; pyruvate is converted into ethanal and then into ethanol in a process called fermentation.
the goal is to take pyruvate and put it into the Krebs cycle, producing NADH and FADH2this is located in the mitochondria.The Krebs cycle and the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA produce 2 ATP's, 8 NADH's, and 2FADH2's per glucose molecule

1. Glucose is metabolised to form pyruvate (glycolysis) Anaerobic (without oxygen): - Pyruvate is converted to lactate or ethanol Aerobic (in the presence of oxygen): - Pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA - Citric Acid Cycle - Electron transport chain

Pyruvate -> Acetyl CoA -> Citrate which is used by the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.
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.
