Chapter 22, Problem 11RE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the statement, “All the chlorophyll molecules in a photosynthetic reaction center play the same roles in the light reaction,” is true or not is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

In the reaction center of chlorophyll, there is a pair of bacteriochlorophyll molecules (P870

), which helps in initiating the photosynthetic reaction.

All the chlorophyll molecules are bonded to the proteins in photosystem I or II or in the antenna complex. The light-harvesting molecules pass the energy to the specialized pair of chlorophyll molecules at the reaction center.
