Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accessory pigments, such as carotenoids and phycobilins, absorb light energy and transfer it to reaction center chlorophylls. They do not directly transfer electrons; their primary role is to expand the range of light wavelengths that can be used for photosynthesis by capturing energy and funneling it to the reaction centers.
