7 0

Chlorophyll chromatography uses paper chromatography to separate photosynthetic pigments like chlorophyll, carotene, and xanthophyll according to their solubility in the solvent and size.

Pigment-like molecules are employed during photosynthesis to absorb light energy because of the wavelength and color they reflect. A method known as paper chromatography makes it simple to distinguish between and identify the four major pigments of green plants. Your filter paper strip is a chromatogram. The various pigments are displayed in the chromatogram. Carotene appears bright yellow, chlorophyll an is blue-green, chlorophyll b is yellow-green, and xanthophyll is a faint yellow-green. The separation and identification of various plant pigments can be accomplished with the help of paper chromatography.

Tobacco smoke and certain environmental chemicals are known carcinogens (substances that can cause cancer in living tissue). The tobacco smoke from cigarette smoking contains harmful chemicals such as hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, ammonia, benzene, and many more. In fact, from 2009 to 2013, three out of 10 cancer deaths in the U.S have been attributed to cigarette smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke.
