Not exactly. It is true that NAD is formed during electron transport chain, however, it's not a direct product. NADH is an electron carrier that dumps its electron to the electron transport chain, which oxidizes it into NAD. NAD then goes back to become reduced by glycolysis or citric acid cycle.

During glycolysis NADH is formed when hydrogen atoms are transferred to an electron acceptor called?
NAD+
What is the intermediate electron acceptor for oxidations that occur in both glycolysis and in Krebs cycle reactions?
NADH ( Google that to get full name )
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.
In cellular respiration the final electron acceptor is?
O2 ADDED: Not O2, but one atom of oxygen.
What is the ultimate electron acceptor in photosynthesis?
nadp+
Electron transport chain?
An electron transport chain (ETC) couples a reaction between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2

Which molecule could be termed the final resting place last molecule to be reduced final electron acceptor of the electrons donated by nadh and fadh2 to the etc?
oxygen
How is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration similar to the role of NAD plus in fermentation?
As they both accept electrons and are reduced, but NAD carries stripped electrons from glucose ( becoming NADH ) to the electron transfer chain while oxygen is the final electron acceptor.
Does hydrogen serve as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain?
No, oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
What is the terminal electron acceptor in aerobic cellular respiration?
NAD+ is the first electron acceptor in cellular respiration (O2 is the final acceptor).
What is required to start and what is produced by the hydrogen and electron transport system?
The proteins involved in the chain, complete with ATP synthase in the end for oxidative phosphorylation, some electron carriers like NADH and FADH2, and the final electron acceptors such as O2.
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.
What happens when an excited electron is passed to an electron acceptor in a photosystem?
When an excited electron is passed to an electron acceptor in a photosystem, energy in sunlight is transformed to chemical energy.
Is the element helium an electron donor or acceptor?
Neither. Helium doesn't form compounds and is neither an electron donor nor an electron acceptor.
Why is oxygen vital to the cell?
It is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transfer chain. It takes the electron from NADH reducing it back to NAD+ allowing it to be reused in the electron transfer chain producing H2O.Without it the process would stop and the organism would very very quickly run out of energy to survive
