Answer:

When NAD+ takes an electron from glucose, it becomes NADH, the reduced form of the molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

NADH transports this electron to mitochondria where the cell can take the energy that is stored in the electron. NADH then donates the electron to oxygen, converting it back to NAD+.
