This question asks, the photosystems responsible for absorption of light energy are each composed of two linked components, the reaction center and an antenna complex.
00:10
What is the pigment composition and role of each component in the process of light absorption? what evidence exists that the pigments found in these components are involved in photosynthesis? so let's talk about these photosynthesis.
00:25
So a photo system is going to be this multisthroids.
00:33
Multi -protein complex and it will be located in the thylacoid membrane and it is also important to note that it will consist of two components the antenna and the reaction center so the antenna is kind of like a radio antenna it will in terms of shape of course it will contain light -absorbing pigments and then as far as our reaction center, that reaction center will consist of proteins in addition to two chlorophyll a molecules.
01:56
Now, the antenna, it's important to note, will also contain light harvesting complexes.
02:13
Now, in terms of what pigments are going to be found within the reaction center and the antenna, it's important to note that chlorophyll a is going to be found in both the antenna and reaction center.
02:30
Right? so this chlorophyll a is going to be found in the reaction center and the antenna as well...
