Where do the carbon atoms come from that make up the carbon dioxide released as a waste product of cellular respiration?

The pyruvic acid used in glycolysis has three carbon atoms which are split apart and combined with CoA. They make acetyl CoA which has 2 carbons. The third carbon combines with oxygen creating carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

vegetables high in their starch content are distinguished as starchy vegetables, and some examples include: potatoes, chickpeas and corn.
