question 5

Multiple Choice

Why are there several structurally different pigments in the reaction centers of photosystems?

• A)Excited electrons must pass through several pigments before they can be transferred to electron acceptors of the electron transport chain.
• B)This arrangement enables the plant to absorb light energy of a variety of wavelengths.
• C)They enable the plant to absorb more photons from light energy, all of which are at the same wavelength.
• D)They enable the reaction center to excite electrons to a higher energy level.
• E)This helps the plant function if some of the pigments become structurally damaged.
