The pyruvic acid molecules which are made in cytosol through glycolysis enter in the mitochondria. In the mitochondria each and every pyruvic acid molecule is transformed in one molecule of the acetyl-CoA (or acetyl coenzyme A) with release and liberation of one carbon dioxide. The Krebs cycle (which is as well recognized as citric acid cycle), the second stage of the aerobic respiration, then begins.
