Answer: through energy carriers, ATP and NADPH

Explanation:in the light dependent stage,energy from a light photon is used to create ATP through ADP and an inorganic phosphate.

It does this by the transfer of energetic electron from one electron carrier to another.NADPH is also formed.

In the light independent reaction,ATP and NADP are used to reduce carbon dioxide to 3-phosphoglycerate
