You are working on a research project that involves a mutational analysis of the light harvesting complex Lhca1,which is an important light harvesting complex found in plants.Your labmate asks where this complex is located.You say it is in the
A)outer chloroplast membrane
B)inner chloroplast membrane
C)thylakoid membrane
D)stroma
E)matrix

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Lhca1 complex is a component of the thylakoid membrane, which is where photosynthesis takes place in plants. The thylakoid membrane is where the different light harvesting complexes and electron transport chain components are located, making it the most likely location for Lhca1. The outer and inner chloroplast membranes, as well as the stroma and matrix, do not directly participate in photosynthesis and are not locations for the light harvesting complex.
