Each photocenter in a chloroplast consists of hundreds of antenna pigment molecules that absorb light and transfer energy to a reaction center

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antenna pigment molecules in a chloroplast photocenter absorb light and transfer energy to a reaction center through chlorophyll molecules. Carotenoids are also present in the antenna complex, but they primarily function to protect the chlorophyll molecules from excess light. Cytochrome bf and plastoquinone are components of the electron transport chain, which transfers electrons and ultimately generates ATP and NADPH.
