Answer:
Advantages of having more than one pigment molecule in a photocentre are as follows:
Having more pigments means more sunlight being captured and trapped, hence facilitating an effective light reaction.
The additional pigments would provide protection to the chlorophyll molecule against photo-oxidation.
More pigments will capture more energy to start the initial reactions, which is not possible due to a single pigment.
Some of these additional pigments act as co-enzymes for chloroplasts, helping in their metabolic activities.
