Separation and Identification of Plant Pigments by Paper Chromatography Biology 1107L Introduction All living organisms require energy for their chemical processes. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun. Plants convert light energy into the chemical energy of sugars. During photosynthesis pigments are used to capture light energy. Pigments of green plants can easily be separated and identified using a technique called paper chromatography. The purpose of this

are discussed in greater detail in this chapter. Nute Burn and Lockout Marijuana plants require special conditions in order to take up the necessary minerals from the soil. A lockout condition happens when the roots are not able to uptake the nutrients‚ which are essential for the healthy growth of the cannabis plants. This usually happens due to particular chemical conditions‚ such as the soil having alkaline pH. Plants that face nutrient lockout are not able to absorb the basic nutrients‚ such as

Effects of Plant Nutrient Deficiency Abstract This experiment aimed to determine the effects of nutrient deficiency on plants. This was done by examining tomato plants grown in a medium that contained all the nutrients needed to survive and comparing those results to plants that were grown in nutrient deficient mediums. The biomass and standard chlorophyll content were the focus of the experiment. The biomass was measured by taking the mass of the plant. The standard chlorophyll content was

Introduction Plants are some of the most important organisms on earth. They perform a multitude of services that keep ecosystem functioning. Plants provide us with food‚ medicine‚ and they perform photosynthesis which converts carbon dioxide into oxygen and in so doing remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ provide us with many everyday products and are very beautiful to look at. (Morgan 2009) Plants provide us with energy through food Food provides humans with energy that allows us to

Fast Plants Material and Methods When first preparing our fast plants we had to set up four different systems that would dictate our variable of fluorescent light. Each system would provide light to our fast plants for different amounts of time per day. Our systems were set up for 0 hours of light‚ 6 hours of light‚ 12 hours of light‚ and 24 hours of light. To setup the lab we began to setup our lighting system with fluorescent a timer for each set of fast plants. Our 24 hours was set up in

Experimental Plant Variety In order to have a suitable variety of plant types to successfully complete this experiment‚ plant types that contained recognizable traits and that would not easily be pollinated by foreign pollen were chosen. Finding a plant variety with such characteristics allowed better control over the experiment. Twenty-two varieties of pea plants were chosen by first trialing thirty-four varieties. For two years‚ only self-pollination was allowed for each of these thirty-four plant varieties
