A. What is the name of the pigment that captures light? Chlorophyll B. Why does the pigment appear green? It absorbs other colors of light such as red and blue‚ so in a way the green light is reflected out since the pigment does not absorb it. 2. List two variables besides the wavelength (color) of light which might affect the rate of food production in plants. Light intensity and carbon dioxide 3. Why is chlorophyll important for all biological life? It is necessary for photosynthesis which

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 experiment

oleracea and Musa acuminata‚ which use different wavelengths of light to display various pigments of color. The light energy for photosynthesis calls for an array of light to be absorbed by the plants. In this experiment‚ the different wavelengths of light can be traced and graphed by extracting chlorophyll from these two plants and placing them into a spectrophotometer‚ which identifies what wavelengths of light a pigment absorbs. It was found that Musa acuminata‚ commonly referred to as banana palm‚ showed

Kalacas*‚ Hanna Mae Laluces‚ Ina Bianca Lanuza Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science *Corresponding author; e-mail: knight_BeNcH66@yahoo.com Abstract Chromatography is a powerful technique for separating and/or identifying the components in a mixture. There are different types of chromatography and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. In this experiment‚ pigments of the chili

Question 1: You have carried out an investigation into the pigments that make up chlorophyll. Use the chromatogram you obtained when carrying out this investigation. Clearly explain the separation technique of paper chromatography in terms of partition. Calculate the Rf value of one of the constituent pigments and compare it to the book value. A paper chromatography was used to separate the pigments that make up chlorophyll to analyse‚ identify‚ and quantify the components‚ using paper (stationary

The spectrophotometer includes a light bulb‚ a reflector‚ and a detector. When a sample is in place and the chamber lid is closed‚ light from the light bulb passes through it. The detector measures the amount of light

Chromatography Lab Questions Pre-Lab Questions 1. A pencil is used rather than a pen to mark the “starting line” in step two because a pen or marker while be used to place a small dot of ink in the center of the X that is made with a pencil. 2. Capillary action is filling of pores in a solid with a liquid. Capillary action is caused by spotting or absorption and is allowed to seep or flow through. 3. The type of pen that will probably give better separation in this paper chromatography

which are it’s light-capturing pigments. Colors in the wavelengths are either absorbed or reflected by the chlorophyll in which case green is reflected and colors like red and blue are seemed to be absorbed. If blue and red wavelengths have more absorbance‚ the green doesn’t have a high absorbance. This lab is useful to help demonstrate the existence of various leaf pigments by using the process of paper chromatography.
