Mobile phase.
it means that the solvent dissolves the solute.
the more soluble the plant pigment is with the chromatography solvent, the farther it will travel up the chromatography paper
Because methanol is a very polar solvent
stationary phase stays at the bottom of the paper chromatography while mobile phase is moving on the stationary phase and move on stationary phase till it gets its right place on the top of the paper or somwhere else.
Chromatography
In chromatography you need one stationery phase (paper) and one mobile phase (here solvent, moving by capillary forces)
ascending chromatography is a type of chromatography in which chromatic substance is in mobile phase and moving from bottom to top. similarly in descending chromatography mobile phase moving from top to bottom.
a moving or mobile phase is a mixture you want to separate , dissolved in a solvent.
This method is called paper chromatography.
Column chromatography is generally used as a purification technique: it isolates desired compounds from a mixture.Column chromatography is separated into two categories, depending on how the solvent flows down the column. If the solvent is allowed to flow down the column by gravity, or percolation, it is called gravity column chromatography. If the solvent is forced down the column by positive air pressure, it is called flash chromatography, a "state of the art" method currently used in organic chemistry research laboratories The term "flash chromatography" was coined by Professor W. Clark Still because it can be done in a "flash."

•Descending chromatography is faster because gravity helps the solvent flow.
