Answer:

The correct answer is glycolysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis must happen before acetyl CoA can be formed during respiration.During glycolysis the precursor molecule glucose is converted to pyruvate by a series of enzyme catalyzed biochemical reactions.

Pyruvate in aerobic condition is then converted into acetyl CoA by the help of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme
