Energy carriers such as ATP belong to a group of molecules known as adenosine nucleotides. These molecules carry and transfer energy within cells for various cellular processes. Other examples of energy carriers include NADH, FADH2, and GTP.
The carriers of energy formed during the light-dependent reaction are ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules carry the energy captured from sunlight and help fuel the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
ADP and a phosphate group are used to create ATP through the process of phosphorylation. When ATP is hydrolyzed, it releases energy, a phosphate group, and ADP, which can then be used to power cellular processes.
ATP or adenosine triphosphate stores and releases energy by adding or breaking off one of the phosphate molecules on its tail. When a phosphate molecule breaks off of ATP it releases energy. Likewise, if an ADP (a ATP with one lose phosphate group than ATP) gains a phosphate group, energy is stored.
Mainly ATP and NADH are formed.They are used in dark reaction
ADP (adenosine diphosphate) has two phosphate groups, while ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups. The addition or removal of a phosphate group between ADP and ATP is important in cellular energy transfer. ATP is the primary energy carrier in cells, while ADP is the result of ATP losing a phosphate group during energy release.

Electron carriers and energy carriers are related but not the same. Electron carriers (such as NADH and FADH2) transfer electrons in biochemical reactions, while energy carriers (such as ATP) store and transfer energy for cellular processes. Electrons are involved in the flow of energy within cells, but energy carriers can involve other forms of energy besides electrons.
NADH and FADH2.
Cellular respiration produces electron carriers like NADH and FADH2 because they can carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain, where they are used to generate ATP. These electron carriers help to establish an electrochemical gradient that drives ATP synthesis through oxidative phosphorylation. This process is more efficient at producing ATP compared to direct production of ATP during earlier stages of cellular respiration.
