Answer 2

It releases CO2 into the atmosphere during acetyl CoA formation.

Step-by-step explanation:

During cellular respiration, cells break down glucose molecules into water and carbon dioxide to produce ATP. ATP is the power that a body needs to function. There are 4 stages of cellular respiration which are Glycolysis, Pyruvate oxidation, the Citric-acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

In 'pyruvate oxidation', each pyruvate from the glycolysis goes into mitochondria and is converted into a two-carbon molecule bound to coenzyme A. It is known as CoA. Carbon dioxide is released.
