Question
Chapter 8.4, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To contrast: The function of the reaction center and antenna chlorophyll molecules.
Introduction: The photosystem is a structural and functional unit of the protein complexes involved in the photosynthesis. The photosystem is present in thylakoid membrane of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. A generalized photosystem contains of two closely linked components, namely a reaction center and an antenna complex.
