Description: What happens to the pyruvic acid depends on the availability of oxygen.
If oxygen is scarce (anaerobic conditions), pyruvic acid is reduced by the addition of 2 hydrogen atoms to form lactic acid.
If oxygen is plentiful (aerobic conditions), most cells convert pyruvic acid to acetyl coenzyme A.
