Detailed Solution

Antenna complexes of LHC capture light from different regions of spectrum and funnel it into chlorophyll a (reaction centre). They contain accessory pigments like carotenoids and chlorophyll-b. The pigments are organised into two discrete photochemical light harvesting complexes (LHC) within the Photosystem I (PS I) and Photosystem II (PS II). The LHC are made up of hundreds of pigment molecules bound to proteins and it does not include reaction centre.
