Question

Which one is not character of antennae?

• A. To make photosynthesis more efficient
• B. To make wider range of absorption of incoming light
• C. Provide electron to primary electron acceptor of photosystem
• D. Reaction center is not part of it

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Provide electron to primary electron acceptor of photosystem

The light harvesting complexes are made up of hundreds of pigment molecules bound to proteins. Each photosystem has all the pigments (except one molecule of chlorophyll a) forming a light harvesting system also called antennae. These pigments help to make photosynthesis more efficient by absorbing different wavelengths of light. The single chlorophyll a molecules form the reaction center. Therefore, the reaction center is not a part of antennae.

So, the correct option is 'Provide electron to primary electron acceptor of photosystem'.
