The steps of cellular respiration are glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation (which includes the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis).
During the citric acid cycle, carbon dioxide is released. This step occurs after pyruvate oxidation in the presence of oxygen. In this cycle, the Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which undergoes a series of reactions resulting in the release of carbon dioxide.
