Hey Mate..
The aerobic breakdown of pyruvate takes place in the power house of the cell mitochondria.and the end products when the pyruvate is broken down are-the carbon dioxide and water(CO2 and H2O.)

Hey mate!
glucose(6 carbon molecule ) breaks down by glycolysis into pyruvate(3carbon molecule ) in cytoplasm.
Then further pyruvate in mitochondria breaks down and gives carbon dioxide, water and ATP.
Hope it helped^_^
