What it means
When a cell breaks down glucose and fat, NAD picks up electrons and becomes NADH. NADH then hands those electrons to the mitochondria, where their energy is used to make ATP. It is one of the cell's main energy carriers.
The form of NAD that carries electrons and energy from food to the cell's energy-making machinery.
