Abstract
Abstract— It is proposed that the light‐harvesting function of carotenoids in photosynthesis requires electron exchange between the energy donor (carotenoids) and the acceptor (antenna Chi molecules); this supports an earlier suggestion by Goedheer (1972) that there exists a close spatial relationship between these pigments in vivo.Keywords
