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....
During fermentation, glucose is incompletely broken down to form either ethanol (alcohol fermentation) or lactic acid (lactic acid fermentation) in order to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
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.
Lactic acid is formed from pyruvic acid (often referred to as the ion, pyruvate, as the acid ion predominates at physiological pH values).The reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme called lactate dehydrogenase. It involves the addition of two hydrogen atoms to convert pyruvate into lactate.These H atoms are provided by the coenzyme NADH.The pyruvate is the product of a series of anaerobic cell respiration reactions called glycolysis, which take place in the cytoplasm. Glycolysis converts a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, with a net gain of two ATP molecules. In the course of glycolysis NAD+ is reduced to NADH. The conversion of pyruvate into lactate oxidizes the NADH, recycling it and so enabling glycolysis to continue.
Pyruvic acid is created during glycolysis.

Pyruvic acid
During Glycolysis, Glucosemolecules are split into two pyruvates during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Pyruvic acid, also called pyruvate, is produced during glycolysis when the glucose molecule is split.
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 3 carbon molecule created from pGAL in glycolysis which is also produced in the Calvin cyclein photosynthesis.
