Pyruvic acid then undergoes fermentation in yeasts (producing ethanol and CO2) or lactic acid in red blood cells and muscles. Both fermentation routes are energy-inefficient. In contrast, pyruvic acid is fully oxidized in mitochondria during cellular respiration, capturing approximately 40% of glucose's energy as ATP.
  • 4.6B: Breakdown of Pyruvate
    https://bio.libretexts.org/Courses/Universiti_Putra_Malaysia/ESC4103_-_Environmental_Microbiology_(Universiti_Putra_Malaysia)/04%3A_Microbial_Metabolism/4.06%3A_The_Citric_Acid_(Krebs)_Cycle/4.6B%3A_Breakdown_of_Pyruvate
    After glycolysis, pyruvate is converted into acetyl CoA in order to enter the citric acid cycle.

    Pyruvic acid (CH3COCOOH) is an organic acid, a ketone, and the simplest of the alpha-keto acids.
