The reason that carotenes move more rapidly with the solvent than the xanthrophylls is likely due to polarity. Xanthrophylls are fairly nonpolar, but carotenes are even more nonpolar.
In a way no because, xanthophylls contain oxygen atoms, while carotenes are purely hydrocarbons with no oxygen. Xanthophylls contain their oxygen either as hydroxyl groups and/or as pairs of hydrogen atoms that are substituted by oxygen atoms acting as a bridge
Reversing polarity ,changes the rotation of the device you are changing polarity on.
Its polarity is zero.CCl4 is non polar
The strength of polarity can be determined from looking at the level of polarity an object has. Polar bonds can make objects stronger or weaker.
The reason that carotenes move more rapidly with the solvent than the xanthrophylls is likely due to polarity. Xanthrophylls are fairly nonpolar, but carotenes are even more nonpolar.
Xanthophylls primarily absorb green-blue light.
xanthophyllin or xanthophylls
the answer to this question can be found on yahoo
xanthophylls
chlorophyll is more soluble than xanthophyll
Chlorophyll, carotenoids, pheophytins and xanthophylls
-- negative polarity -- positive polarity
The polarity is a vector quantity. The resultant of the polarity of bonds determines the polarity of the molecule. In CO2 there is polarity between the two C-O but the polarity is equal and opposite in direction so CO2 doesn't have polarity. If the polarity of bonds is not cancelled then the polarity remains in the molecule.
Xanthophylls are a set of the naturally occurring yellow pigments. the word is greek in origin, "Xanthos" meaning yellow, "phyllon" meaning leaf. Two Xanthophylls, lutein and Zeaxanthin, are responsible for the yellow color of egg whites.
