Answer:

ATP and NADPH are the high-energy molecule and electron carrier are produced by the light reaction of photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

In the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast the light reaction with photosynthesis takes place. In the photosystem II the light energy is used for making of photolysis of water molecules, that also responsible for the release of electrons and oxygen having greater energy. The electrons are then moved through the electron transport chain(ETC) located in the same membrane and leads to the generation of NADPH and ATP. NADPH and ATP are molecules with greater-energy which carry and pass electrons to the dark or Calvin reaction which leads to the production of sugar.
