thylakoid membrane The photosystems that capture light are located on the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoids are stacked to form grana.

What do you call the clusters of chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy?
The clusters are called photosystems.
Cluster of pigments and proteins that absorbs light?
photosystems
How do plants capture light energy for used in photosynthesis?
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
Antennalike energy-harvesting unit in a thylakoid?
Antenna pigments, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, that are light harvesting antennas in the thylakoid. After the antenna pigments absorb light energy and transformed as chemical energy then transfered to the reaction center complex.
Is the beginning of photosynthesis pigments in photosystem absorb light?
Yes, that is correct. The light energy excites electrons in photosystems and these electrons enter the electron transport chain to make ATP. These electrons eventually end up in NADPH and photosystems are replenished with electrons obtained from splitting water.
What are cluster of chlorophyll called?
Photosystems Photosystems

What pigments traps light energy?
Photosynthetic pigments capture light energy.Examples are chlorophyll,caratinoids etc.
How do plants capture light energy for used in photosynthesis?
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
Why are there several structurally different pigments in the reaction centers of photosystems?
This setup enables the plant to absorb light energy of a variety of wavelengths.

How do organisms capture light energy?
By using photosynthetic pigments. Primary pigments are the chlorophylls
Explain the function of the accessory pigments?
well, accessory pigments include chlorophyllb. It absorbs energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb. And it also helps enable plants to capture more of the energy in light. ^_^
Why are pigments such as chorophyll needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments like chlorophyll, capture light energy which is used for the first step of photosynthesis, the light dependent reaction.
