Since there is no more oxygen, we undergo anaerobic respiration, which in humans is lactic acid fermentation. Lactic acid does not produce any energy, so it doesn't solve the ATP crisis nor does it produce ATP. It is true that lactic acid fermentation does use up pyruvate, but so does the citric acid cycle. The importance is that lactic acid fermentation turns NADH into NAD+ so that it can be recycled into glycolysis to create ATP. 

When the body isn't getting enough oxygen, it undergoes lactic acid fermentation. The purpose of lactic acid fermentation is so that your body can generate ATP through glycolysis by turning pyruvate into lactate and in the processes regenerating NAD+. Since lactate is poisonous, we eventually have to breathe. When oxygen combines with lactate it turns into lactic acid, which in turn causes muscle soreness. 

The citric acid cycle, also known as the Kreb's cycle, occurs within the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, it occurs in the cytosol.

The citric acid cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.

Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol, and the electron transport chain involves both the intermembrane space and the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Pyruvate from glycolysis is transported into the mitochondrial matrix for the citric acid cycle. Energy from the citric acid cycle allows protons to be pumped to the intermembrane space. The electron transport chain involves proteins along the inner mitochondrial membrane, eventually resulting in the activation of ATP synthase due to the influx of protons along their gradient.

In cellular respiration, glucose first undergoes glycolysis and is broken down into two pyruvate molecules. As the pyruvate passes through the citric acid cycle, three molecules of  are produced. The radioactive oxygen molecules would be found in the .

The Krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. The products of glycolysis, which takes place in the cytosol, are brought to the mitochondria for the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. The electron carriers generated during the Krebs cycle (NADH and FADH₂) are then used in the electron transport chain, which takes place on the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

A turn of the Krebs cycle produces one ATP, three NADH, one FADH₂, and two CO₂.

Acetyl-CoA is not produced during Krebs cycle. It is produced from the decarboxylation of a pyruvate molecule, which occurs before the Krebs cycle can begin. Each turn of Krebs cycle is initiated by one acetyl-CoA molecule. Remember that there are two acetyl-CoA produced from the two pyruvate molecules (end product of glycolysis). For every glucose molecule, the Krebs cycle produces two cycles: two ATP, six NADH, two FADH₂, and four CO₂.

Acetyl-CoA is the molecule that enters as the primary reactant in the Krebs cycle.

During glycolysis glucose is the primary reactant. Glucose contains six carbons. The process of glycolysis converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate with three carbons each. Pyruvate then undergoes a decarboxylation reaction before entering the Krebs cycle. Each pyruvate loses one carbon to create carbon dioxide during this reaction, with the end product of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is, thus, a two-carbon chain.

The ratio of carbon in acetyl-CoA to carbon in glucose is two-to-six, or 1:3.

The role of the Krebs cycle is to produce the intermediates NADH and FADH₂, which will serve as electron donors in the electron transport chain (ETC). At the same time, the ETC creates NAD⁺ and FADH⁺ as byproducts. The products can then be turned around to continue fueling the Krebs cycle. Since the ETC will not function in an anaerobic environment, neither will the Krebs cycle. The reactants will not be replenished, and the cycle will be unable to continue.

Oxygen is not directly involved as a reactant or product of the Krebs cycle. Oxygen is only directly used as an electron receptor in the electron transport chain.

NAD⁺ and FADH are used as reactants in the citric acid cycle to make NADH and FADH₂, which are used in the electron transport chain to convert additional ADP into ATP. All of the other selections are products in the citric acid cyclce. Protons (H⁺) are a byproduct when NAD⁺ is converted to NADH. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is produced during carbohydrate conversions in the cycle. One GTP molecule is produced by the cycle, and contains almost equivalent energy to ATP.
