What else can I help you with?
Which leaf would contain more chlorophyll a dark green leaf or a light green leaf Is this a trick question?
this is not a trick question it just needs thought a dark green leaf would have more chlorophyll because chlorophyll is the substance that causes the leaf to turn green
What is the role of cholorophyll in the biochemical pathways of photosynthesis?
cholorophyll is what produces the green pigment and allows the leaf to absorb more light, the only light leaves cant absorb is green light
Why is a leaf dark green on one side and light on the other?
Because the amount of chlorophyll in the top of leaf is much greater than the amount of chlorophyll in the bottom of leaf. As the chlorophyll is green in colour that's why the top portion of leaf is more green in colour.
What is a varigated leaf?
A varigated leaf is a leaf that has more than one color, like green and white. a leaf that has color aside from green
How might the distribution of leaf pigments differ in a leaf that is dark green in color vs one which is lighter green?
A darker green plant means that it has more chlorophyll to photosynthesise. A brighter leaf colour on the other hand shows that, that plant does not require so much chlorophyll to photosynthesise.
How the size of leaf can help in food manufacture?
The size of a leaf can affect the rate of photosynthesis, which is crucial for food manufacture in plants. Larger leaves with more surface area can capture more sunlight for energy production. Additionally, larger leaves can have more chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs, enhancing the plant's ability to produce food.
Is green tea healthy to drink?
Green tea extract is healthy to drink. It has been published that green tea extract helps to prevent esophagus cancer. Research also shows that green tea extract helps to reduce cholesterol. There are many more advantages to drinking green tea extract.
Why must the leaf be dipped in boiling water before immersing it in ethanol?
the green pigment, chlorophyll should be removed in order to observe color change during test for starch. in order to do that, the leaf is dipped in boiling water to break cell walls which would facilitate the release of the pigment out of the cell. immersion in ethanol would dissolve the pigment which would be released out of the cells thereby making the leaf appear pale in color.
What makes a leaf green?
Chlorophyll is what makes leaves green. It is a pigment that allows plants to photosynthesize - i.e. it allows for the absorption energy from light. Chlorophyll appears green because it doesn't absorb this colour of the spectrum very well; that it, it reflects green light more than other colours.
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.]
If orange and yellow pigments are present in a leaf why does the leaf appear green in color?
Because there are much more chlorophyll which make them green than green and orange pigments.
Why is the top of a leaf darker green than the bottom?
There is more chlorophyll in the top of the leaf than there is on the bottom
