Transfer of energy, broadening the spectrum, protection of chlorophyll molecules and eyes are the functions of carotcnoids. The conversion of light energy into chemical energy is the function of chlorophyll molecules. In chloroplasts, the responsibility of converting light energy into chemical energy lies with the photosystems. The photosystems are protein complexes embedded in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts.
