Pyruvic acid (the final product of Glycolysis) under aerobic conditions (in Eukaryotes) is oxidised to CO2, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), and NADH2 and FADH2 (which are further oxidised to release energy).
First of all, Pyruvic acid undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form Acetyl Co. A (linking pathway to Krebs’ Cycle), where in all the Carbon is sequentially removed, and formed NADH2 and FADH2 with small energy in form of ATP and GTP (which later changes to ATP)

Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen. When pyruvate is produced at the end of Glycolysis it enters mitochondria for cellular respiration.
- The first step of respiration includes the oxidation of pyruvate molecule into Acetly coA.
- During this reaction, NADH is also produced.
- Acetyl coA performs a lot of functions but its major function is to deliver acetyl group to next pathway in glucose metabolism.
