To oxidize the intermediate products of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle and then, in reduced state, take their electrons and hydrogens to the systems of the electron transport chain where ATP production is the ultimate result.
NAD + --> NADH
FAD + --> FADH2
NADs or Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide are enzymes. The NADs act as electron and hydrogen carriers in oxidation-reduction reactions.
It is an electron acceptor and carrier in the Electron Transport Chain. NAD+ is produced during pathways and cycles such as the Kreb's Cycle and Glycolysis.

There are 2 FAD and NAD and molecules. This is to breakdown each glucose molecule.
NAD+ is an important example of an electron acceptor that functions in glycolysis.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, abbreviated NAD+, is a coenzyme found in all living cells. The compound is a dinucleotide, since it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups, with one nucleotide containing an adenine base and the other containing nicotinamide.In biochemistry, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox cofactor involved in several important reactions in metabolism. FAD can exist in two different redox states and its biochemical role usually involves changing between these two states. Many oxidoreductases, called flavoenzymes or flavoproteins, require FAD as a prosthetic group which functions in electron transfers.
