Why is the inside of a cabbage lighter?

The inside of a cabbage is lighter due to its structure and composition. The inner leaves are typically younger, more tender, and contain more water, making them less dense than the outer leaves. Additionally, the inner part has fewer chlorophyll pigments, which contribute to a darker color in the outer leaves. This combination of factors results in a lighter appearance for the inner cabbage layers.

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.]


Which is more polar- chlorophyll a or b?

Chlorophyll a is more polar than chlorophyll b due to the presence of a methyl group in chlorophyll b that increases its overall hydrophobicity, making it less polar compared to chlorophyll a.
