Simply put, the process of oxidation is that of reacting to add oxygen. Carbon (C) burning in air (O2) to form Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is and Oxidation reaction.
Conversely, the process of removing oxygen form a molecule is a reduction. When a lump of iron ore is heated with carbon, oxygen is removed and metallic Iron is produced and the Iron ore is said to have been reduced.
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.
A molecule is said to be reduced when one of its atoms gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, the net charge of the molecule is reduced when one of it's atoms acquires an electron.
In the Calvin Cycle, the molecule that is reduced is carbon dioxide (CO2).
When NAD is reduced, the resulting molecule formed is NADH.
A fully reduced molecule would be a better cellular energy source because it has more energy stored in its chemical bonds compared to a fully oxidized molecule. Oxidation leads to the release of energy stored in chemical bonds, while reduction stores energy in those bonds.
When a molecule of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide gains a hydrogen atom, it becomes NADH (reduced form of NAD+). NADH is a key molecule involved in carrying electrons during cellular respiration to generate ATP.
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).

NAD+ is reduced. It becomes NADH.
When a molecule gains an electron, it has been reduced.
When electrons are transferred from one molecule to another, the molecule losing the electrons becomes oxidized and typically has a higher energy state due to the loss of negatively charged particles. This process can result in the release of energy, as oxidation often occurs alongside a reduction reaction in the other molecule, which gains the electrons and becomes reduced. Consequently, the overall energy dynamics depend on the specific molecules involved and the context of the reaction.

yes it is oxidized substrate reduces itself and oxidize others
