Pyruvic acid, the key product of glycolysis can have many metabolic fates. Under aerobic condition it forms
Pyruvic acid is the key product of glycolysis, which can have many metabolic fates. Under the aerobic condition, it forms Acetyl CoA + CO2 which is further converted to CO2 + H2O after citric acid cycle. The other options are incorrect as they are the products for anaerobic fermentation, i.e., Lactic acid, Ethanol + CO2 and oxidized product of Acetyl CoA in the citric acid cycle, i.e., CO2 + H2O.
