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 the molecule becomes?
It will be NADH. An electron quarrier in the photosynthesis process.
What happens to a molecule when it is reduced?
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.
Would a fully oxidized or fully reduced molecule be a better cellular energy source?
reduced
If a molecule of ATP is oxidized becomes?
ADP
An electron carrier acts as an energy-storage molecule when it is?
Reduced... NADH
When a molecule of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide gains a hydrogen atom the molecule becomes?
Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
When a molecule of NAD gains a hydrogen atom the molecule becomes?
It will be NADH. An electron quarrier in the photosynthesis process.
When a molecule of nad plus gains a hydrogen atom to become nadh does the molecule become phosphorylated or oxidized or reduced or redoxed?
When NAD+ becomes NADH gaining that hydrogen it also gains an electron(s), which is its actual job. So, it becomes reduced.

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.
When nad plus reacts with hydrogen and gains two electrons is?
NAD+ is reduced. It becomes NADH.
What happens when a molecule is reduced?
It gain the electrons
Would a fully oxidized or fully reduced molecule be a better cellular energy source?
reduced
If a molecule of ATP is oxidized becomes?
ADP
What is the procces called When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate and becomes an ATP molecule?
phosphorylation
The energy of ATP becomes available to a cell when the molecule is what?
the ATP molecule is broken down
An electron carrier acts as an energy-storage molecule when it is?
Reduced... NADH
Which molecule is reduced during both glycosis and the Kreb's cycle?
nad+
