Title: separation of pigments of photosynthesis using paper chromatography. Goal (main aim): Calculating the Rf of every single pigment, in order to distinguish it and identify its solubility.
Title: separation of pigments of photosynthesis using paper chromatography.
Goal (main aim):
Calculating the Rf of every single pigment, in order to distinguish it and identify its solubility.
Hypothesis:
In photosynthesis; two types of pigments are involved; chlorophyll (A or B) and carotenoids, by using paper chromatography we can distinguish each pigment, by measuring the color's Rf; referring to the next formula:
Variables:
Independent variable:
- Pigment solubility.
Dependent variable:
- The distance that the pigments move, on the chromatography paper.
Controlled variables:
