Expert Solution
Step 1: Oxidation and reduction reaction

Redox reaction is transfer of electrons between molecules.Both oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. The process of lose of one or more electrons is called oxidation and gain of electrons called Reduction 

overall reaction of the process is 

NADH + 1/2 O2 + 2H+ ------> NAD+ + H2O

Here the one which reduced is 1/2 O2 , which gains electrons and forms H2O. NADH oxidizes and loses electrons.
