Answer:

Mitochondria

Explanation:

Pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria where in the presence of oxygen it is converted into acetyl coenzyme A. Acetyl coenzyme A joins the Krebs cycle in which it is broken down to carbon dioxide, water and energy which is used to produce ATP. ATP is a complex organic molecule.
