Answer: what is Acetyl CoA is made from pyruvate under aerobic conditions in the mitochondria. The process of conversion is irreversible. I don't know the other half I'm sorry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acetyl CoA Used by the citric acid cycle as a fuel. Carbon acetyl groups are converted to CO2 and ATP and electrons (carried by NADH and FADH2) create even MORE electrons. Acetyl CoA is made from pyruvate under aerobic conditions in the mitochondria. The Process of conversion is irreversible.
