Why are there several structurally different pigments in the reaction centers of photosystems?
a. they enable the plant to absorb more photons from light energy, all of which are at the same wavelength
b. they enable the reaction center to excite electrons to a higher energy level
c. this arrangement enables the plant to absorb light energy of a variety of wavelengths
d. excited electrons must pass through several pigments before they can be transferred to electron acceptors
