NADH
The formation of acetyl-CoA
The sequence of events in aerobic respiration is: glycolysis, formation of acetyl CoA, the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain.
The product from glycolysis, a 3 carbonn pyruvate, has Coenzyme A and an NAD+ added to it with the help of an enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the products are a 2 carbon Acetyl Coenzyme A, CO2, NADH + H+.
Glycolysis
Glucose is broken down into acetyl-coenzyme A (glycolysis). In liver or adipose tissue acetyl-coA can form lipids. Insulin is one of the most important factors, it is released from pancreas after sugar intake and stimulates the formation of fat.

Glycolysis
Glucose is broken down into acetyl-coenzyme A (glycolysis). In liver or adipose tissue acetyl-coA can form lipids. Insulin is one of the most important factors, it is released from pancreas after sugar intake and stimulates the formation of fat.
Pyruvic acid is made during glycolysis and is later used in fermentation.
Fats and proteins are brought into the Krebs cycle by being converted. They can either be converted to glucose or acetyl which will go through Krebs cycle.
aerobic
It is converted into acetyl CoA to be used in Krebs cycle.
It is changed into Acetyl CoA, which is then used in the citric acid cycle (aka Krebs Cycle).
