More eluent was added and drained until it was level with the top of the sand. Extraction of pigments 3-4 baby spinach leaves were gathered and placed into a mortar with a small amount of sand. 8mL of methanol was measured out and added to the mortar. A stemmed funnel lined with a filter was clamped and placed into a 125mL separatory funnel (with

photosynthetic pigments are carotene‚ chlorophyll a‚ xanthophyll and chlorophyll b (Light). The pigments are the contents in this experiment. We kept them cold to prevent any other reactions from occurring while in the spectrophotometer. We changed the wavelength on the spectrophotometer to see how well the light could pass through. The efficiency of the pigments are contributed to how little light travels through the tubes‚ otherwise‚ how much they absorb. We found that the pigments had a similar

They feel the pigments even the white ones are a lower level of pigments. There is like spines lining the scales and the species scatter the lights randomly. This is what gives them the different colors when you look at them from other directions.

Oxalic acid Citric acid Malic acid Tartaric acid Oxalic acid is an organic compound with the formula H2C2O4. It is a colorless crystalline solid that dissolves in water to give colorless solutions. It is classified as a dicarboxylic acid. In terms of acid strength‚ it is much stronger than acetic acid. Oxalic acid is a reducing agent and its conjugate base‚ known as oxalate (C2O42−)‚ is a chelating agent for metal cations. Typically‚ oxalic acid occurs as the dihydrate with the formula

Jamie Milano Biology 150 Photosynthesis Homework April 8‚ 2013 Reviewing Your Knowledge 2. A pigment solution contains compound A with 4 polar groups and compound B with 2 polar groups. You plan to separate these compounds using paper chromatography with a non-polar solvent. Predict the location of the two bands relative to the solvent front. Explain your answer. Since compound A is probably more polar than compound B‚ compound B will move further in the chromatography. Since the solvent is non-polar

Stolen Dialogue reveals how spoken language expresses meaning not only at the spoken level but through the implied meaning. It can be said that what’s left out of a conversation is sometimes more important than what is put in. Jane Harrison’s Stolen is an honest and compassionate play that follows the lives of five aboriginal kids who have been stolen from their families as part of the governments’ assimilationist agenda.
