Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the significance of the light-harvesting complexes?
Correct Answer: Light-harvesting complexes absorb and transfer light energy to the reaction center.
  • Step 1: Understand that light-harvesting complexes are groups of proteins and pigments found in plants and some bacteria.
  • Step 2: Know that these complexes are responsible for capturing light energy from the sun.
  • Step 3: Learn that the absorbed light energy is then transferred to a specific part of the cell called the reaction center.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the reaction center uses this energy to start the process of photosynthesis, which produces food for the plant.
