What else can I help you with?
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 do you call the clusters of chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy?
They are called photosystems. Photosystems are groups of chlorophyll molecules and associated proteins that work together to absorb and transfer light energy during the process of photosynthesis.
Photosystems light reactions?
Photosystems are protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane that are involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis. They capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. There are two main photosystems in the thylakoid membrane, Photosystem I and Photosystem II, which work together to drive the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed for photosynthesis to capture light energy. Specifically, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb certain wavelengths of light necessary for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy during the process of photosynthesis. Without pigments, plants would not be able to harvest light to fuel their growth and metabolism.
Why are there several structurally different pigments in the reaction centers of photosystems?
Having multiple structurally different pigments in the reaction centers of photosystems allows for a broader absorption spectrum of light. This enables the photosystem to capture light energy across a wider range of wavelengths, maximizing the efficiency of photosynthesis. Additionally, these pigments work together to transfer excitation energy towards the reaction center, where it is converted into chemical energy.
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. ^_^

What is the function of the chlorophyll pigments in PS?
In very general terms, chlorophyll pigments capture light energy. Depending on what kind of chlorophyll they are and if they are in Photosystem I or Photosystem II they will have different specific functions.
What pigments traps light energy?
Photosynthetic pigments capture light energy.Examples are chlorophyll,caratinoids etc.
What is used to capture light in phocynthesis?
Pigments such as chlorophyll are used to capture light in photosynthesis. These pigments absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy, which is used to drive the process of photosynthesis in plants.
