Question
Answer the following question.
What is the advantage of having more than one pigment molecule in a photocenter?
Solution
Advantages of having more pigment molecules in a photo center are as follows:
- Having more than one pigment molecule in photocenter means more sunlight being captured and thus facilitating more effective light reaction.
- It will provide protection to chlorophyll molecule against photo-oxidation.
- More pigments will capture more energy to start the initial reactions, which is not possible by a single pigment.
