Question

what is function of antenna pigment​

Answer 1

Answer:



The pigment-binding light-harvesting complex (LHC) proteins of plants and eukaryotic algae are the building blocks of the photosynthetic antenna system. They are responsible for light absorption, energydistribution between the photosystems, and photoprotection.

Answer 2

The antenna pigments are responsible for collecting light energy from the sun and transferring it to reaction centers. These pigments are found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in green plants and algae.

Antenna pigment:

• Antenna pigments are pigment molecules that encircle and absorb and convey sun energy to the chlorophyll reaction center.
• Antenna pigments, particularly among algae, are exceedingly varied.

Function of Antenna Pigment:

• A pigment whose principal role is to capture the energy from photons and transfer it to other pigments in the photosystem.
• The majority of chlorophyll molecules serve as antennas, with only a few hundred chlorophyll molecules doing photochemistry in the reaction center.

Examples

Chl-a and  Chl-b Carotenoids.
