Abstract:
The main purpose of conduction the photosynthesis experiment was to carry out paper chromatography in order to determine the pigments involved in photosynthesis. Secondly, the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll was determined in order to determine the wavelengths useful in photosynthesis. Third, the experiment aimed at examining chloroplasts utilizing the Hill reaction. Lastly, the relationship between light, photosynthesis, and chloroplasts was to be investigated. This would help in providing insight into the electron transport and carbon fixation phases of photosynthesis. Paper chromatography was used to separate pigments in plants. Xanthophyll was found to travel the fastest. The absorption spectrum of Continue reading...
