Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the significance of the light-harvesting complexes in photosynthesis? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that photosynthesis is the process plants use to make food using sunlight.
  • Step 2: Know that light-harvesting complexes are special groups of proteins and pigments in plants.
  • Step 3: Realize that these complexes absorb sunlight, which is energy from the sun.
