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.

Acetyl CoA forms.
Pyruvate oxidation takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. Here, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which is a critical step in aerobic respiration.
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.

according to the Holt biology book of 2009, mitochondrion is no longer in use
glucose is changed into pyruvate
glucose is changed into pyruvate
The lactate is taken to the liver and converted back to pyruvate.
they will enter the Krebs cycle
Pyruvic acid breakdown occurs through a process called pyruvate oxidation, which takes place in the mitochondria. During this process, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, releasing carbon dioxide and producing NADH. Acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle to generate more ATP.
