is reduced to NADH. This reaction is an important step in the process of cellular respiration, where NADH then carries the electrons to the electron transport chain to produce ATP energy.

NADH
When a molecule of NAD gains a hydrogen atom, it becomes reduced to form NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). This reduction reaction involves the transfer of electrons from the hydrogen atom to NAD, resulting in the formation of NADH.
When a molecule of NAD+ gains a hydrogen atom to become NADH, the molecule is reduced. Reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule, which is what occurs in this process. This is part of a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction where one molecule is reduced (NAD+) and the other molecule is oxidized (loses electrons).
NADH is reduced compared to NAD+ because it gains electrons and a hydrogen ion to form NADH during cellular respiration. In this process, NAD+ acts as an electron carrier that accepts electrons and a hydrogen ion from substrates being oxidized, converting it to NADH.
