The light-absorbing units in a chloroplast
Real World Example
Imagine trying to power your home during a blackout with just a few scattered candles. This situation is similar to how a photosystem operates in a chloroplast, where it must capture scattered photons of light to fuel the process of photosynthesis. Just as you would strategically place candles around your home to maximize light, a photosystem is organized with pigments and proteins to efficiently gather and funnel light energy to drive the production of food in plants.
