Cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen, or aerobic respiration, uses the end product of glycolysis in the TCA cycle to produce more energy currency in the form of ATP. Aerobic respiration happens in eukaryotic cells when they have sufficient oxygen.
The reactants for the Krebs cycle come from the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into acetyl-CoA, which is then used as the starting molecule for the cycle. These molecules are broken down by various metabolic pathways in the cell to produce the necessary substrates for the Krebs cycle.
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.
when oxygen is not present
The process used to make ATP produced by glycolysis is oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the mitochondria. This involves the electron transport chain and ATP synthase, where the electrons generated by glycolysis are used to generate ATP.
In the Krebs cycle NAD+ is reduced to NADH. This is one of the electron carriers. Also FAD is reduced to FADH2 which is the other electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle.

During the Krebs cycle, pyruvic acid from glycolysis is used to make carbon dioxide, NADH, ATP, and FADH2.

glycolysis and Krebs cycle
When the cell gains gluclose, the process of glycolysis occurs and the gluclose is broken down down into pyruvate. In pyruvate processing, Acetyl CoA is produced nad then used in the Krebs Cycle. There, NADH and FADH2 are made and go to the electron transport chain, where water and ATP are made. *
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.

Glycolysis is the process where one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing two molecules of pyruvic acid. Krebs Cycle (aka Citric acid cycle) is the first set of reactions in respiration.
Cellular respiration has three main components: glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and electron transportation chain/chemiosmosis. There is a fourth component, pyruvate decarboxylation, that connects glycolysis and Krebs Cycle.
