PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
PHOTOSYNTHESIS LAB
Activity #1. Separation and Identification of Pigments by Paper Chromatography
1a.
Given the following information about the molecular structure of photopigments,
number the pigments in the order you would expect them to separate on the
chromatograph. #1 should be the one that travels the farthest with the solvent
(thus, will be the highest band), #4 should be the one that travels the least (i.e.,
lowest band).
3
Chlorophyll a:has 5 polar groups on the molecule
4
Chlorophyll b:has 6 polar groups on the molecule

Carotene:

Xanthophyll:
Activity #2. Determining Absorption Spectrum for Leaf Pigments
2a.
Use your textbook to help you answer these questions. Remember that a
pigment appears a certain color because it REFLECTS (i.e., does not absorb)
that wavelength.
What wavelength range would be REFLECTED by each of these pigments?
•
Chlorophyll a: 450-630 nm
•
Chlorophyll b: 500-650 nm
•
Carotene:
525-750/780 nm
•
Xanthophyll: 570-590 nm (HINT: Xanthophyll is yellow)
2b.
At approximately what two wavelengths would you expect the greatest absorbance values for:
•
Chlorophyll a: 430 nm and 660 nm
•
Chlorophyll b: 450 nm and 640 nm
•
Carotene:
450 nm and 478 nm
2c.
We know that most pigments are found in the chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells.
Specifically WHERE is chlorophyll located in the chloroplast?
The chlorophyll is specifically located in the membrane of the chloroplast
2d.
Some PROKARYOTES are photosynthetic. Predict where the pigments might be located in these cells.
In these sells the pigment would found on a thylakoid membrane which would be a folded cell membrane.
3.
(a) Green pigments appear green because they ( absorb
U
or
U
reflect
) green light. Hint: See the photosynthesis chapter in your text.
(b)
Consider a green plant. It looks green because it is ( using up
U
or
U
spitting out
) any green light that it receives.
(c)
Based on your answer to part b, you can predict that if a green plant receives only
green light, it will grow ( well
U
or
U
poorly
).

The sketch below represent your results from this experiment.
Pigments separate from each other based on their chemical properties as solvent is drawn up
through the chromatography paper
Xanthophyll
Chlorophyll A
Chlorophyll B
Pigment mixture is spread on the starting line here
When the solvent front reaches the top the paper is dried, and the paper is cut to remove individual
pigments for extraction and analysis with the spectrophotometer
