3) In the thylakoid membranes, what is the main role of the antenna pigment molecules? A) split water and release oxygen to the reaction-center chlorophyll B) harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll C) synthesize ATP from ADP and I D) transfer electrons to ferredoxin and then NADPH E) concentrate photons within the stroma

B) harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll

Explanation:

The antenna pigment molecules form a complex which is known as the light-harvesting complex.

There are three antenna pigment molecules present in plants :

1. chlorophyll b

2. xanthophylls

3. carotenes

In one complex there can be 250 - 400 pigment molecules present which acts collectively to absorb energy and transfer it to the reaction center which consists of the chlorophyll.

This reaction center is responsible for capturing light energy in the form of chemical bonds.

explanation:

kelp are large brown algae that live in cool, relatively shallow waters close to the shore. they grow in dense groupings much like a forest on land. these underwater towers of kelp provide food and shelter for thousands of fish, invertebrates, and marine mammal species.
