Question
A complex of proteins associated with pigment molecules that captures light energy and transfers it to reaction-center pigments in a photosystem.Group of answer choiceslight-harvesting complexprimary electron acceptorPEP carboxylasereaction-center complex
Solution
The correct answer is light-harvesting complex. This complex is a group of proteins associated with pigment molecules that captures light energy and transfers it to reaction-center pigments in a photosystem. The primary electron acceptor, PEP carboxylase, and reaction-center complex are all components involved in photosynthesis, but they do not fit the description provided in the question.
