Plant Tissues A mature vascular plant (any plant other than mosses and liverworts)‚ contains several types of differentiated cells. These are grouped together in tissues. Some tissues contain only one type of cell. Some consist of several. Meristematic The main function of meristematic tissue is mitosis. The cells are small‚ thin-walled‚ with no central vacuole and no specialized features. Meristematic tissue is located in • the apical meristems at the growing points of roots and stems. • the

corresponding anthocyanidins using paper chromatography‚ and spectrophotometric analysis procedures. Based on experimental data the blueberries contained the most amount of anthocyanins at 1.92 x 10-6 g‚ followed by blackberries at 1.19 x 10-6 g‚ finally followed by raspberries at 5.84 x 10-7 g. The paper chromatography data also supports the idea that blueberries contained the most anthocyanidins‚ since it contained the most streaks on the chromatography paper. The main conclusion that can be

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

Column Chromatography of Plant Pigments Paul Ibarbia‚ Gene Paolo Jasmin‚ Gianpaolo Jimenez and Lorenzo Labicane* Department of Biology‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Column chromatography of plant pigments is the separation of plant pigments extracted from Capsicum frutescens (siling labuyo). No slurry is prepared of the eluent; eluent with the stationary phase is set and then carefully poured into the column. The eluent are the solvents which are responsible for the

QUANTITATIVE MODULE Decision-Making Tools Discussion Questions 1. The 6 steps of the decision process are: 1. Clearly define the problem and the factors that influence it. 2. Develop specific and measurable objectives. 3. Develop a model. 4. Evaluate each alternative solution. 5. Select the best alternative. 6. Implement the solution. 2. The purpose of this question is to make students use a personal experience to distinguish between good and bad decisions. A “good”

many pigments such as chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta carotene besides chlorophyll a. They are part of the photosystem in the thylakoids. Pigment molecules can be separated by a procedure called chromatography. The procedure uses a special paper and solvent. The chlorophyll molecules adhere to the paper. The solvent molecules move up the paper by capillary action. Each chlorophyll molecule will travel up the paper at different rates. Hypothesis: If chlorophyll is removed from the plant‚ then

BEETROOT PIGMENTS - and membranes – These pigments are betalain pigments (not‚ as often thought‚ anthocyanins)‚ which they replace in some organisms. They are named after the Beet family of plants (Beta) but are also found in fungi (Fly Agaric - the red‚ spotted one!). In petals they presumably attract pollinating insects and may be present in seeds/fruits to encourage birds to eat them and so disperse the seeds. Man has selected for colour in beetroot‚ both because

Paper chromatography is an important separation technique that depends upon differences in how strongly the dyes are adsorbed onto the paper (stationary phase) and how soluble the dyes are in the developing solvent (mobile phase). In paper chromatography‚ a small amount of the mixture to be separated is placed close to the edge of a piece of paper. The edge of the paper is then immersed in a developing solution. As the developing solution ascends up the paper by capillary action‚ the. components
