Place leaf in beaker and heat with Bunsen burner until water has discolored and boiled, then place leaf in test tube filled methylated spirits and place in same beaker as before with the burner turned OFF. Methylated spirits boils at around 80 degrees Celsius so when placed in heated water it will boil. This process will separate the chlorophyll (pigment) in the leaf.

What does Plants use pigments to collect or trap?
Mainly chlorophyll a, but also, other accessory pigments like chlorophyll b.
What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?
Chlorophyll a & b, caroten and xanthophyll are photosynthetic pigments used by plants. These pigments capture various wavelengths of solar radiation for energy transformation.
What are the pigments that plants use?
Chlorophyll, they use it for photosynthesis.
Which organelle contains the green pigment needed for photosynthesis?
The chloroplast is where the photosynthesis happens. The pigments in chloroplasts, namely chlorophyll, take the energy from sunlight and use it to facilitate the production of sugars.
What isn't in an animal cell that is in a plant cell?
A Plant cell have two unique organellesthat separates a animal cell to a plant cell and a common one that changes when a plant cell develops from a young cell to a older cell.Cell wall - protects and support the structure of the cell and filter and mange how substance go in and out the cell.Plastids - containers that often contain pigments. (There are three types of plastids) Chloroplasts - contains the green pigment substances, chlorophyll which traps light energy from the sun and use it for photosynthesis.Chromoplast - contains coloured pigments which is responsible for fruits and flowers colours. (yellow pigment = Xanthophyll and orange pigment = Carotene)Leucoplast - contains colorless pigments where starch is storedA large central Vacuole (only in older plant cells)- Stores food, water, minerals
What are the behaviors of a mating flowering plant?
The plants use their pigments from sunlight.
What does Plants use pigments to collect or trap?
Mainly chlorophyll a, but also, other accessory pigments like chlorophyll b.
Procedure to separate iron fillings and powdered glass?
Use a magnet.
How do plant cells capture sunlight'?
They use special type of pigments to capture sunlight.Mainly chlorophyll,caratinoids
What method can be used to separate the colours of a leaf?
In order for a biologist to sepearate leaf pigments, he should use chromatography. Hope this helps because I too, had to answer a question just like this for biology!
What type of cell uses chloroplasts?
plant cells use chloroplasts to get energy from the sun by the green pigments inside of them called chlorophyll.
How do you use pigments from minerals?
Ancient or Current people in society use minerals as pigments. Such as Gold, Earrings, jewelry
Why do pigments in ink do not separate even though they are in water?
They have been chosen and formulated so as to remain uniform. Compare with paints, where it is exceptional to avoid mixing before use.
How do you separate lycopene and beta-carotene?
A good technique is HPLC (liquid chromatography). You'll find references to this approach for the two plant pigments you're interested in. Possibly also, there are patents on this. The procedures outlined in patents are likely to be more efficient, but you can't use these commercially without permission of the patent holders.
Mitosis in animal cells is different from mitosis in plant cells because?
plant cells use a cell plate to separate daughter cells
