    During kerbs cycle pyruvate is converted to Acetyl CoA. The so formed Acetyl CoA then enters the krebs cycle.

    Explanation:

    Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. Pyruvate is converted into Acetyl CoA by the catalytic activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme which uses NAD + as a coenzyme.

    The formation of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA is termed as oxidative decarboxylation.
