Understand the concept of oxidation and reduction: In biological systems, oxidation refers to the loss of electrons, while reduction refers to the gain of electrons.
Identify the role of glucose in the reaction: Glucose donates electrons to NAD+, which means glucose is losing electrons.
Apply the concept of oxidation to glucose: Since glucose is losing electrons, it is undergoing oxidation.
Recognize the role of NAD+ in the reaction: NAD+ is gaining electrons from glucose, which means it is being reduced to form NADH.
Conclude the process: Since glucose donates electrons and is oxidized, the correct answer is that the glucose molecule becomes oxidized.
