How is chromatography related to photosynthesis?
The process of chromatography relates to the overall process of photosynthesis because photosynthesis is the source of food for plants. Plants use sunlight, CO2 and water to make energy in the form of glucose. The role of pigments in this is that pigments help to create energy in plants by absorbing sunlight. Pigments can absorb or reflect certain light waves according to their specific wavelengths which can be determined by the colour of the pigment. Different colours of pigments have different corresponding wavelengths. The pigment, chlorophyll, found in most plants is the one most associated with photosynthesis. This pigment reflects green wavelength because they provide less energy and reflects it for us to view the plant as green. An example of this would be spinach. This green plant contains multiple pigments. It contains chlorophyll which reflects green light and also contains multiple other pigments which pass through the leaf to be used in photosynthesis. Particularly intense reflection increases the colour of the plant and since green plants contain an abundance of chlorophyll to reflect as much green light as possible, we see spinach as a dark green plant.
What pigments are found in green lettuce leaves?
Red cabbage juice contains the pigment cyanidin, which makes it useful as a homemade indicator of acids and bases as it turns the cabbage juice pink when an acid is added and blue when mixed with an alkali (or colorless in a strong alkali solution).
Did the spinach you tested contain different pigments Use your results to support your answer?
The pigments in the green leaf[spinach] contain 2 yellow green[chlorophyll b], faint yellow[carotenes] an yellow[xanthophyll]. In the red leaf[Moses in the Cradle or Poinsettia] the colors and pigments where yellow green[chlorophyll b], faint yellow[carotenes] and red[anthocyanins]. If you did the chromatography paper testing you will notice both leaves have chlorophyll in which indicates that both the red leaf and green leaf can photosyntehsize. [The red leaf also contains chlorophyll even though it is red and not green and absorbs enough light to photosynthesize.]
Does spinach have chloroplasts?

How does the pigments compare of malabar spinach to regular spinach?
The pigments of Malabar spinach are purplish while those of regular spinach are entirely green.
Which pigments did you identify from the spinach leaf?
Chlorophyll, carotenoids, pheophytins and xanthophylls
Experiment on the effect of the PH of enzymatic reaction using hydrogen peroxide and extract of spinach leaf?
Answering "Experiment on the effect of the PH of enzymatic reaction using hydrogen peroxide and extract of spinach leaf?"
The pigments melanin and what contribute to skin color?
The pigments melanin and carotene contribute to skin color. Carotene is found in foods such as carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots, spinach and broccoli.
Does vitamin A have any alternate names?
Yes. it is also called Retinol (because it produces the pigments for the retina of the eye) and Carotenoids (dark colored pigments in plant foods, like carrots and spinach).
Why does spinach not give you a great amount of iron when you eat it?
Spinach, as well as other vegetables that have iron in them, have a form that is not very easily absorbed (non-heme iron), while iron from animal sources is much more easily absorbed (heme iron).
What has the author William Flora written?

Which foods is the best source of iron?
Red meat, chicken liver, then turkey. The iron from meat is more easily absorbed than the iron in vegetables and grains. Among the best sources of non-heme iron is fortified cereals and oatmeal. Melons, chard and spinach are OK.
