For one molecule of Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) the Krebs cycle produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2), 3 molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2, and one molecule of ATP.
Also, the change from pyruvate to acetyl CoA produces one NADH and one carbon dioxide molecule; CoA is recycled in and out of the cycle.
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
In Glycolysis, the final compound formed is Pyruvate. Now, pyruvate has to be transformed to Acetyl-CoA by the substitution of the carboxylic group with a Coenzyme A by pyruvate dehydrogenase. In real terms, Acetyl-CoA is the molecule that "switch on" the Krebs cycle.

one molecule of glucose will be transformed into 2 molecules of pyruvate which is a 3 carbon molecule. Coenzyme A will then turn that pyruvate molecule into acetly CoA which is the starting molecule for the krebs cycle.
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
Pyruvate -> Acetyl CoA -> Citrate which is used by the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.
The Krebs cycle runs twice to break down one molecule of glucose.

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+.
Oxidized
The Krebs cycle is also referred to as the citric acid cycle. Its reactants are pyruvate, NAD+, FAD, acetyl CoA and ADP.
