What happens after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondrion?

Pyruvate is converted into acetyl CoA in the mitochondrial matrix through a series of enzymatic reactions known as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Acetyl CoA then enters the citric acid cycle to produce energy in the form of ATP through a series of oxidation-reduction reactions.

What happens in the pyruvate reaction?

One of the three carbon atoms that make up pyruvate is cleaved off by the rather large enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase. This carbon atom attached to oxygen and becomes carbon dioxide(what you exhale). This reaction is known as a decarboxylation reaction. Then the other two remaining carbon atoms make up an acetyl group. Along with the acetyl group is hydrogen which will reduce NAD+ to NADH. The acetyl group is added to coenzyme a, and is called acetyl coenzyme a, or acetyl CoA for short. This is the ultimate creation of the oxidation of pyruvate. If there is a high concentration of ATP then the acetyl-CoA is used for fatty acid biosynthesis. If not than it will be used for oxidative metabolism. That's the basics of it for it is very complex.


What happens to pyruvate under anaerobic and aerobic conditions?

In humans, under ANAEROBIC conditions (no O2), pyruvate is 'converted' to lactate, though I wouldn't say it is "broken down".In humans, under AEROBIC conditions (O2 present), pyruvate is converted to Acetyl-CoA, via the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction.In yeast, pyruvate is converted into ethanol (Party Fluid) via pyruvate decarboxylase and then alcohol dehydrogenase.
