MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthetic cells contain chlorophyll and other light-sensitive pigments that capture solar energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chloroplast also has many other accessory pigments that aid in the process of photosynthesis. There are a group of pigments called carotenoids, which unlike chlorophyll, are different shades of yellow and orange. Carotenoids reside with the two types of chlorophylls in the thylakoid membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 5.12 Light energy is absorbed by a chlorophyll molecule and is passed along a pathway to other chlorophyll molecules. The energy culminates in a molecule of chlorophyll found in the reaction center.
