NAD is a coenzyme.

Its role is as a hydrogen acceptor when it is involved in the oxidation of glucose (cell respiration). Is is written as NAD+, and after accepting hydrogen it becomes the reduced form, NADH.

NADH in turn acts as a hydrogen donor when it becomes oxidized to reform NAD+.

What molecule is the final electron acceptor at the end to the electron transport chain?

In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is (usually) oxygen. Sometimes it can be sulfur or nitrogen in the absence of oxygen (as in extreme environments) in extremophiles.
