Carbon dioxide is a product of cellular respiration that forms during the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle). This stage occurs in the mitochondria after glycolysis and is responsible for oxidizing acetyl-CoA to produce ATP, NADH, FADH2, and CO2. Additionally, ATP is produced during both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, but CO2 is specifically a byproduct of the Krebs cycle.
