what is LHC in botany

Answer 1

LHC in botany stands for Light-Harvesting Complexes. These are protein complexes found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in plants and algae. They are responsible for capturing and transferring light energy to the reaction center chlorophylls during photosynthesis. LHCs enhance the efficiency of light absorption and protect the photosynthetic machinery from excessive light damage.
