Pyruvic acid is formed in glycolysis.
Glycolysis takes place in Aerobic respiration which uses pyruvic acid during it's cycle however at the end of this process (electron transport chain where ATP is made and O2 is the final electron acceptor) H2O is the "end" product. FERMENTATION is used in Anaerobic respiration which uses a carbon of Glucose to begin the process which results in the production of PYRUVIC ACID and the creation of 2 ATP. Glycolysis DOES NOT produce and acid....
The anaerobic process of splitting glucose to form pyruvic acid is called glycolysis. The citric acid cycle is a series of reactions in aerobic respiration that begins and ends with the same 6 carbon compounds.
During Glycolysis, Glucosemolecules are split into two pyruvates during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
This happens during glycolysis.

The 2 pyruvate molecules created in Glycolysis are oxidised to form Acytl-CoA. This then enters the Citric Acid Cycle. After the Citric Acid Cycle comes the electron-transfer chain, which is where the majority of ATP are produced during respiration.
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.
If there is no oxygen present, then the cell does either alcohol or lactic acid fermentation. If oxygen is present, the citric acid cycle follows glycolysis, with oxidative phosphorylation following the citric acid cycle.
