Photosystem Structure

State

A photosystem pairs a light-harvesting complex of antenna pigments with a reaction center, funneling light energy to a special chlorophyll a pair that releases an electron.

Show

Hundreds of antenna pigments in one photosystem pass captured energy inward until it reaches the reaction center.

Watch for

Only energy, not an electron, passes between antenna pigments — an electron releases only at the reaction center.
