Acetyl-CoA and Carbon Dioxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Krebs cycle, glucose is 2 pyruvate's which makes carbon dioxide and acetyl-CoA. Hope This Helps:)

Answer 2

These pyruvate molecules that enter the mitochondrion to carry on the next step of the cellular respiration process, would form B. Acetyl coA and CO2. I believe.
