Of the following, which one is light-gathering?
Correct answer: A. Antenna complex
- A. Antenna complex
- B. Reaction centre
- C. Photosystem
- D. ATP synthases
Explanation
The antenna complex is a light-harvesting structure made up of proteins and pigments such as chlorophyll and carotenoids that capture light energy and transfer it to the reaction center. The reaction center, located at the core of the photosystem, contains chlorophyll a and associated proteins responsible for initiating the primary electron transfer reactions of photosynthesis. However, the arrangement of pigments into functional clusters is called a photosystem. The thylakoid system refers to the network of interconnected thylakoid membranes within the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions take place.ATP synthase is an enzyme which converts ADP to ATP.
