In this lab‚ we extracted spinach pigments‚ and analyzed what colors of light these pigments absorb. By using TLC plate‚ hexane and acetone‚ I separated the pigments of spinach‚ and discovered that the main pigments were green and yellow. This works because with different polarities‚ pigments move at different rates. Hexane and acetone were also used to separate chlorophyll and carotene from spinach. Since they are polar‚ they can separate organic and inorganic things. From the experiment‚ I know

In this experiment spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solutions were placed under various filters and the percent orange light transmittance through the solution was measured to determine the rate of photosynthesis. This experiment was set up to discover how different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis in a spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution. I proposed that the spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution under no filter‚ and therefore exposed to all light will have a highest percent orange light

Chemical Separation Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to extract the pigments from spinach leaves‚ perform Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on the spinach leaf extract‚ and then determine the best solvent mixture to use to separate the pigments in the extract. The pigments are located inside the chloroplast walls in the cells of the spinach leaves. In order to obtain the pigments the cell walls must be broken down thus exposing the pigment containing chloroplasts. Upon

Chromatic Separation of Plant Pigments from Tomato Paste ABSTRACT In column chromatography a mixture is dissolved in a solvent and poured over a column of solid adsorbent then eluted with the same or a different solvent. This method is often used for preparative purposes; when a relatively large amount of the mixture and the components need to be isolated. The two main pigments in tomato paste mixture are the yellow-orange β-carotene and the red lycopene. The colors of these pigments are because

CO2 on the rate of Photosynthesis in Spinach Leaves Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. The purpose of this experiment is to see how different concentrations of carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leaves. I hypothesize that the greater

This experiment is concerned with identifying photosynthetic pigments found in spinach plants and determining the spectrum of light each absorbs. By using paper chromatography‚ different pigments of spinach leaves can be separated. The knowledge gained in this experiment is relevant to understanding how the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources‚ as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the

I) Introduction In this lab‚ a test was conducted to determine how the relative redox activity of chloroplasts from spinach leaves‚ which were performing photosynthesis‚ would change when in the presence or absence of light. To observe these changes in redox activity‚ the chloroplasts were exposed to DCPIP‚ a chemical that changes color according to such activity. By determining the redox activity of the chloroplasts‚ it could then be inferred which chloroplasts were photosynthesizing more actively
