What is the order of chlorophyll pigment bands from fastest to slowest?

Pigment colour Pigment Rf value orange yellow carotene 0.96 grey a breakdown product 0.70 blue green chlorophyll a 0.58 green chlorophyll b 0.48 deep yellow xanthophyll 0.44


What pigments do Nannocloropsis oculata utilize to photosynthesize?

These algae utilize chlorophyll a in photosynthesis. There is a big difference between the species of this genus with other microalgae. Nannocloropsis algae have neither chlorophyll b nor chlorophyll c.


What are the standard Rf values for pigments involved in photosynthesis?

The standard Rf values for pigments involved in photosynthesis are typically around 0.2-0.4 for chlorophyll a, 0.4-0.6 for chlorophyll b, and 0.8-0.9 for carotenoids. These values can vary slightly depending on the specific solvent system and chromatography conditions used.


What is the color of phaeophytin?

Pheophytin or phaeophytin (abbreviated Pheo) is a chemical compound that serves as the firstelectron carrier intermediate in the electron transfer pathway of photosystem II (PS II) inplants, and the photosynthetic reaction center (RC P870) found in purple bacteria. In both PS II and RC P870, light drives electrons from the reaction center through pheophytin, which then passes the electrons to a quinone (QA) in RC P870 and RC P680. The overall mechanisms, roles, and purposes of the pheophytin molecules in the two transport chains are analogous to each other.


What functional group is different in the identical pigments of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b?

The functional group that differs between chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b is the aldehyde group on chlorophyll b, which replaces the methyl group on chlorophyll a at the C7 position of the chlorophyll molecules.

Why is pheophytin less polar than chlorophyll?

Pheophytin and Chlorophyll are similar in there makeup. The difference between the two is that the magnesium ion is replaced by hydrogen making it less polar.

What is the difference between chlorophyll and choloroplasts?

Chloroplast is the organelle inside the plant cell, it is what absorbs and transforms light into energy. Chlorophyll is the green pigment, it traps the light.

What is a difference between chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B?

The structural difference between chlorophyll 'a' and chlorophyll 'b' is this that the functional group bonded to the porphyrin is methyl group (-CH3) in chlorophyll 'a' and carbonyl group (-CHO) in chlorophyll 'b'.

What describes the difference between chlorophyll A and B?

Chlorophyll A absorbs more red light and appears blue-green, while chlorophyll B absorbs more blue light and appears yellow-green. They work together in photosynthesis to capture different wavelengths of light for energy conversion. Overall, chlorophyll A is more abundant in plants compared to chlorophyll B.


What function of Pheophytin?

it is very similar to chlorophyll involved in making food for the plant but basically it gives a purplish or olive like color to green plant stuff,it is produced in veggies when over cooked or cooked when covers
