NADH (electron carrier) is the reduced form of NAD+ (which is an electron acceptor).

Explanation:

NADH (electron carrier) is the reduced form of NAD+ (which is an electron acceptor) and can be generated from glycolysis and other metabolic pathways. NADH is used to make lots of ATP via electron transport chain (ETC) and oxidative phosphorylation. NADH also donates electrons to the ETC in the mitochondria.
