Do you expect the energy of the special pair of bacteriochlorophyll molecules to be higher or lower than the energy of an isolated bacteriochlorophyll? (Hint: Think about the analogy between the mixing of atomic orbitalsto make molecular orbitals and the mixing of molecular orbitals on two nearby molecules.)
