The light-harvesting system, composed of chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and xanthophylls embedded in the thylakoid membrane, along with other pigments and proteins, absorbs light energy of various wavelengths and efficiently transfers it to the reaction centers where chlorophyll a is located.
El sistema de recolección de luz, compuesto por clorofila b, carotenoides y xantofilas incrustados en la membrana de la tilacoide, junto con otros pigmentos y proteínas, absorbe la energía lumínica de diversas longitudes de onda y la transfiere eficientemente a los centros de reacción donde se encuentra la clorofila a.

| Back | chloro b, carotenoids and xanthophylls embedded in thylakoid membrane, this along with other pigments/proteins make up light harvesting system/antannae complex (role is to absorb light energy of diff wavelengths and quickly/effectively transfer to reaction centres, where chloro a is located and where photo reactions occur) |
