Expert Solution
Step 1: Reactions involving NAD+ and NADH

NAD+ is a cofactor of many enzymes that catalyze redox reactions. A hydride ion is transferred from a substrate to NAD+. This oxidizes the substrate and reduces NAD+ to NADH.

XH2 + NAD+ rightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoon X + NADH + H+

'XH2' is the substrate in the forward direction.
