REPORT NAME :princess cucumber TOPIC : 3.8 & 8.2 : PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS RESEARCH QUESTION INTRODUCTION The photosynthetic pigments are responsible for absorbing and trapping light energy the major pigments of photosynthesis are the chlorophylls. The two chlorophylls found in green plants are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. other pigments include carotenoids and phycobilins‚ sometimes referred to as accessory pigments. Carotenoids occur in all photosynthetic organisms‚ while phycobilins

COLUMN AND THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY Maria Janine B. Abarientos‚ Kuia B. Allarde‚ Aliana Keshia P. Andino Mary Viadelle E. Andrada and Nina Marian Robelea G. Ang Group 1 2C Pharmacy Organic Chemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ the techniques column and thin layer chromatography was used to separate and determine the purity of the colored components of siling labuyo and malunggay leaves. The results obtained relied on differential solubilities and adsorptivities of the components to

Chloroplasts and Photosynthesis All animals and most microorganisms rely on the continual uptake of large amounts of organic compounds from their environment. These compounds are used to provide both the carbon skeletons for biosynthesis and the metabolic energy that drives cellular processes. It is believed that the first organisms on the primitive Earth had access to an abundance of the organic compounds produced by geochemical processes‚ but that most of these original compounds were used up billions

Paper chromatography is one of the easiest methods of chromatography. It is a method of planar chromatography (stationary phase is in form of a plane). Paper chromatography follows the basic principle of chromatography‚ which states that substances or components are distributed in between the stationary phase and the mobile phase. It is an analytical technique‚ where only a small amount of a sample is used for separating and identifying its components. Like any other method of chromatography‚ paper

Mr. Sousa Organic Chemistry ACL 8 January 2015 Chromatography Chromatography is a physical method of separating substances based on their properties‚ by distributing their components between a mobile and stationary phase. Chromatography is useful for observing mixtures and solvents‚ since it can be used to determine the relative bond strength of various compounds‚ a substances phase‚ and it can also the identity of unknown substances. Chromatography allows for the separation of chemical mixtures

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this experiment was to extract plant leaf pigments and determining them by using the Rf values obtained from the paper chromatography technique. The hypothesis of the experiment was that all of the five listed pigments would be present in the extracted plant leaf according to the Rf values. PROCEDURE/APPARATUS: The equipments used were a 18 x 150 mm test tube with stopper‚ graduated cylinders‚ Erlenmeyer flask‚ mortar and pestle‚ metric ruler‚ tall jar‚ acetone‚ tiny

Title:The Chromatography Process of Expo Markers Abstract:This experiment is to uncover whether or not the Expo Markers are homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures. The experiment will conduct filter paper being slightly submerged in a container of water and inspected for pigmentation changes. In the experiment the pigments will rise up the filter paper once exposed to the water (solvent). After the experiment‚ it concludes that the mixture is a homogeneous mixture due to the chemical

Column and Thin layer Chromatography of Red Siling Labuyo Marian Angelu Ramos‚ Rose Ann Refuela‚ Leomarie Duanne Sanchez‚ Paula Lynne Santos‚ Geraline Sarmiento‚ Jon Carlo Semana Group number Seven‚ 2E- Pharmacy‚ Faculty of Pharmacy‚ University of Santo Tomas ABSTRACT Chromatography is the separation of mixtures into their constituents. It relies on the differential solubilities or absorptivities of the components to be separated with respect to two phases‚ one of which is stationary and the

Chromatography (Greek for ‘colour writing’) is used to describe various methods applied to separate mixtures (referred to as the sample of the experiment) with great accuracy to analyze them. By using chromatography we can manipulate these to move at different speeds through the system‚ thus separating them. Chromatography is necessary in chemical industries‚ as well as bio processing companies. Chromatography can be: 1. analytical: used to measure ratios of analytes(substance in simpler forms)

Chromatography – Analyzing Analgesics by TLC and Isolation of β-Carotene by Column Chromatography Introduction/Background: Flavonoids are an important group of additives that can be defined as pure substances either natural‚ extracted from raw materials or synthetic. Chromatography is the separation of two or more compounds or ions caused by their molecular interactions with two phases – one moving and one stationary (Weldegirma 2012). Three types of chromatography are used
