Xanthophylls are polar molecules due to the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) groups in their chemical structure. These hydroxyl groups make xanthophylls soluble in polar solvents like water.
Carotenes are less polar than xanthophylls, so they have a greater affinity for the nonpolar solvent used in chromatography. This difference in polarity causes the carotenes to move more rapidly through the chromatography column compared to xanthophylls.
In a way no because, xanthophylls contain oxygen atoms, while carotenes are purely hydrocarbons with no oxygen. Xanthophylls contain their oxygen either as hydroxyl groups and/or as pairs of hydrogen atoms that are substituted by oxygen atoms acting as a bridge
Reversing polarity ,changes the rotation of the device you are changing polarity on.
Its polarity is zero.CCl4 is non polar
chloroplast contain pigments like - chlorophyll a. chlorophyll b, carotenoids and xanthophylls
Carotenes are less polar than xanthophylls, so they have a greater affinity for the nonpolar solvent used in chromatography. This difference in polarity causes the carotenes to move more rapidly through the chromatography column compared to xanthophylls.
Xanthophylls primarily absorb green-blue light.
xanthophyllin or xanthophylls
the answer to this question can be found on yahoo
xanthophylls
chlorophyll is more soluble than xanthophyll
Chlorophyll, carotenoids, pheophytins and xanthophylls
-- negative polarity -- positive polarity
Xanthophylls are a set of the naturally occurring yellow pigments. the word is greek in origin, "Xanthos" meaning yellow, "phyllon" meaning leaf. Two Xanthophylls, lutein and Zeaxanthin, are responsible for the yellow color of egg whites.
