What is the function of the antenna (light-harvesting) pigments?
- Acheck_circle
Capture photons over a wide spectrum and transfer excitation energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll
- B
Split water to release O2 directly
- C
Pump H+ into the lumen
- D
Reduce NADP+ to NADPH
Explanation
Antenna pigments harvest light at many wavelengths and pass energy by resonance to the reaction-center pair, which performs the actual photochemistry.
