Question
what is the primary function of the pigment molecules in a light - harvesting complex?
○ to split water and release oxygen to the reaction - center chlorophyll
○ to transfer light energy to the reaction - center chlorophyll
○ to synthesize atp from adp and i
○ to transfer electrons to the primary electron acceptor
Light - harvesting complex pigment molecules absorb light energy. This absorbed energy is then transferred to the reaction - center chlorophyll. Splitting water (related to oxygen release) is mainly done by the oxygen - evolving complex. Synthesizing ATP from ADP and Pi is the function of ATP synthase. Transferring electrons to the primary electron acceptor is a role of the reaction - center chlorophyll after it gets excited.
