Why does carotenes move more rapidly with the solvent then the xanthophylls?

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.

Why do most leaves have more than one type of pigment?
Active chloroplasts with their chlorophyll comprise the green that leaves have when they're alive and active. Other pigments, provided by things like carotenes and xanthophylls, allow for energy to be absorbed that the green itself couldn't on its own.
Increasing temperature favors dissolution when?
solute dissolves more rapidly in hot water
When does a solute dissolves more rapidly?
A solute generally dissolves more rapidly the warmer the solvent. Also, any mixing or moving of the solute, and also if the solute is broken up (increases surface area) both speed up dissolving.
Why do heated solvents dissolve solute faster?
One solvent is not faster than another, because different solutes require different solvents. If you are using the right solvent, the solute will usually dissolve rapidly. You can also make things dissolve faster by heating the solvent, and by stirring the solution.
Which substance acts as a solvent in solid solution?
the one which is more in amount is the solvent
What is more soluble xanthophylls or chlorophyll a?
chlorophyll is more soluble than xanthophyll

What pigments might you find in a carrot plant?
Practically any plant contains many kinds of pigments, and so do carrots. The main pigments you will find in the leaves, and they include some kinds of chlorophyll, some kinds of carotenes and some kinds of xanthophylls (which are largely yellow and orange pigments that are not important in nutrition). If you are talking about the main colours found in carrot roots, then probably the name you want to know is carotenes. There are some other pigments as well, depending on the kind of carrot and the conditions under which it grew, for example you might find some carrots are practically purple or have a purple patch around the top where the leaves come out. However, the main orange colour of the carrot root is a mix of carotenes. Of these, probably the most important from the point of view of one's diet is the one called beta carotene; your body breaks it down into vitamin A. Other carotenes either do not produce proper vitamin A, or produce half and half vitamin A and other compounds of little nutritional importance. Although leaves look green rather than orange, they do also contain carotenes. It is just that the chlorophylls in the leaves are more intensely coloured and mask the orange colour. Carotenes do affect leaf colour however; pure chlorophylls tend to have a blueish green colour and the orange of the carotenes give an overall leaf-green shade. In fact, carotenes are commercially important both for food colouring and for producing vitamins, and most of the carotenes are extracted from leaves because they are the cheapest.
Raising the temperature of a solvent causes solvent-solvent collisions to become?
Raising solvent temperature causes solvent-solute collisions to become more frequent and more energetic.
Why the more the volume of solvent thefaster sugar dissolves in water?
When enough sugar is dissolved into the solvent (water) , or goes 'in to solution' , that no more will dissolve , the solvent is said to be 'saturated'. The more solvent you have the more sugar you can put into solution. No more sugar will dissolve once the solvent (now your solution) is saturated.
