What is the use of having more than pigment system molecule in a photocentre ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The advantages of more than one molecule in photocentre are :
1. Photosystem I and photosystem II form the assimilatory power.
2. Pigments absorb light energy and transfer it to chlorophyll for use in photosynthesis.
3. The pigments protect the chlorophyll molecule from photo oxidation.
