Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The antenna system of a plant consists of pigment complexes, specifically chlorophyll and accessory pigments like carotenoids and phycobilins. These pigments absorb light energy and transfer it to the reaction center of the plant's photosystems, where it is converted into chemical energy. Grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes where the photosystems are located, and ATP synthase complexes are involved in the production of ATP, but neither of these structures are part of the antenna system. Epidermal cells of the leaf do not gather solar energy; they serve as a protective layer for the plant. Hydrogen ions (H⁺) are not a recognized term in biology.
