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

Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
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.
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.

Photosynthetic pigments capture light energy.Examples are chlorophyll,caratinoids etc.
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
This setup enables the plant to absorb light energy of a variety of wavelengths.

By using photosynthetic pigments. Primary pigments are the chlorophylls
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. ^_^
Pigments like chlorophyll, capture light energy which is used for the first step of photosynthesis, the light dependent reaction.
