The production of Acetyl-CoA depends upon the Glycolysis.
When Glycolysis occurs, it converts Glucose into Pyruvate via a metabolic pathway which consists of Ten enzyme catalyzed reactions.
The final product of Glycolysis cycle is Pyruvate which is then converted into Acetyl-CoA with CO2 and NADH+H+ in the mitochondria with the help of enzyme complex Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex and the process is called Pyruvate Decarboxylation. That's how this resulting Acetyl-CoA enters the Citric Acid Cycle and then utilized in the cycle.
The reaction for the conversion of Pyruvate into Acetyl-CoA is - 1 Pyruvate + 1 NAD+ + CoA → 1 Acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO2 + H+
For a Glycolysis cycle, single molecule of Glucose converts into 2 molecules of Pyruvate. Each single Pyruvate converts into only one Acetyl-CoA. So, from a 1 Glucose molecule or a single Glycolysis will results in 2 molecules of Acetyl-CoA.
