Final answer:

NAD+ is a coenzyme acceptor of electrons and a hydrogen ion. It is derived from vitamin B3, niacin, and can accept electrons from an organic molecule to become NADH.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme acceptor of electrons and a hydrogen ion. It is derived from vitamin B3, niacin. NAD+ can accept electrons from an organic molecule and become NADH, which is the reduced form of the molecule.
