Chlorophyll and carotenoid are chloroplast pigments which are bound non-covalently to protein as pigment-protein complex and play a vital role in photosynthesis. Their functions include light harvesting, energy transfer, photochemical redox reaction, as well as photoprotection.
How do carotenoids and chlorophyll transfer energy?
Carotenoids are, along with chlorophylls, crucial pigments involved in light-harvesting processes in photosynthetic organisms. ... Usually, fluorescence from the S1 and S2 states of carotenoids has a good spectral overlap with the Qy and Qx bands of Chls/BChls, which favors energy transfer.
How are chlorophyll and carotenoids different?
The key difference between chlorophyll and carotenoids is that the chlorophyll is a family of green colour pigments primarily used for photosynthesis in photosynthetic organisms while the carotenoids are a group of yellow to red colour pigments including carotenes and xanthophylls that are accessory pigments.
