Answer:

The correct answer will be -

1. ATP production- Thylakoid membrane

2. Activated carrier- NADPH.

Step-by-step explanation:

The photosynthesis reactions take place in the chloroplast which is divided into three membranes: outer, inner and thylakoid membrane. The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane which helps in the production of ATP molecules along with the activated carrier molecule called NADPH.

The ATP molecule is synthesized by the ATP synthase enzyme located in the thylakoid membrane where electron transport chain produces a gradient of protons. These protons help in the production of ATP synthesis explained through the chemi-osmotic model.

Thus, the Thylakoid membrane and the NADPH are the correct answer.
