Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose to produce pyruvate, with a net gain of two ATP molecules. Pyruvate can then either undergo fermentation (in the absence of oxygen) or enter the mitochondria to be converted to acetyl-CoA and enter the Krebs cycle.
