Schematic of light harvesting:

LH2 = light harvesting complex 2 in bacteria

LH1 = light harvesting complex 1 in bacteria

RC = Reaction Center – where all the energy needs to end up

Atomic structure of the bacterial photosynthetic unit: green, blue = chlorophyll molecules

Orange/brown = carotenoid molecules

Black = schematic of the protein.
