NAD+ isn't oxidised, it can be reduced by H to form NADH
A cell can use fermentation to generate a small amount of ATP while also recycling NAD+. In fermentation, glucose is partially oxidized to produce ATP and organic molecules like lactic acid or ethanol. The NADH that is generated during glycolysis is then oxidized back to NAD+ to sustain glycolysis and continue ATP production.
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).

Two molecules of NADH + H+ are produced in glycolysis, and during fermentation, they become oxidized to NAD+ (one of the requirements for glycolysis to occur). Thus, both lactid acid and alcoholic fermentation allow for NAD+ to be continually regenerated for use in glycolysis, where a total of 4 ATP molecules are produced (a net gain of 2 ATP).
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.
NAD is reduced to NADH during glycolysis.
The oxidized form of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is NAD+. NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in redox reactions, accepting electrons and becoming reduced to NADH. NAD+ plays a crucial role in cellular respiration and energy production in organisms.
NAD is reduced during cellular respiration.
NAD is a coenzyme that plays a key role in cellular energy production, while NAD is the oxidized form of NAD that is involved in various metabolic processes in the body.
NAD is reduced to NADH during cellular respiration.
Yes, NADH is oxidized to NAD during cellular respiration.
NAD+ can shuttle electrons because it can accept electrons to become reduced to NADH, which can then donate those electrons to other molecules in the cell. This ability to cycle between oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms allows NAD+ to act as a carrier of high-energy electrons during processes like cellular respiration.

During fermentation, NADH is oxidized back to NAD+ in order to continue glycolysis. This occurs by passing electrons from NADH to pyruvate to form either ethanol or lactate, depending on the organism. This process of regenerating NAD+ allows glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
NAD+ is a CO-enzyme.
