Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis which is the breakdown of sugar in living things, is a metabolic process that helps to release energy. Pyruvate is a product of this process that involves ten steps. After glycolysis has occurred, pyruvate is moved to the cellular powerhouse (the mitochondria) in the presence of oxygen.

There, carbon dioxide is extracted from pyruvate and acetyl coenzyme A is generated. This shows that carbon dioxide is produced when sugar is processed in animal cells.
