Evidence Snippets

The core is surrounded by outer light-harvesting complexes (Lhcs), together forming the so-called supercomplexes, at least in plants.

Linked Claims

Claim 1environmental dependencesupports2003Source 1DOI PubMed

The composition and organization of the photosystem II light-harvesting system are modular and depend on environmental conditions, especially light quality and intensity.

Claim 2functional architecturesupports2003Source 1DOI PubMed

The photosystem II reaction center can handle more photons than are absorbed by its own pigments, so additional excitations are provided by surrounding light-harvesting complexes.

Claim 3knowledge gapsupports2003Source 1DOI PubMed

The exact location of extra light-harvesting complexes in the thylakoid membrane is unknown.

Claim 4structural organizationsupports2003Source 1DOI PubMed

Outer light-harvesting complexes surround the photosystem II core and together form supercomplexes in plants.
