Answer:

NAD  is reduced  

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose in order to generate  energy for cellular metabolism. Glycolysis helps to convert glucose into pyruvate and hydrogen ion.

In redox reaction, oxidation is the removal of hydrogen and reduction is the addition of oxygen. In the process of glycolysis, the NAD is reduced  to form NADH  and H.

If NAD is not present,  glycolysis will not be able to continue. During  aerobic respiration, the NADH formed in  glycolysis will be oxidized to reform NAD+ for  use in glycolysis again.
