The cellular respiration processes of all living cells make use of the coenzyme Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). It plays a key role in energy metabolism by accepting and donating electrons. ... NADH contributes to oxidation in cell processes like glycolysis to help with the oxidation of glucose.
