Some 50% of the chlorophyll in Chlamydomonas reinhardii chloroplast membranes has been shown to be located in a chlorophyll a/b-protein complex.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlamydomonas is used as a model organism for molecular biology, especially studies of flagellar motility and chloroplast dynamics, biogenesis, and genetics. One of the many striking features of Chlamydomonas is that it contains ion channels (channelrhodopsins) that are directly activated by light.
