Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

A plant extract is a mixture because it contains different substances: acetone or ethanol, chlorophylls A and B, carotene and xanthophylls.

It is homogeneous because it is a solution. There is only one phase: the liquid phase. You cannot see the pigments as separate phases.

You can separate the pigments by paper, thin layer, or column chromatography.

Many schools use paper chromatography, because paper is cheap.

As the mixture of pigments follows the solvent up the paper, they separate into different coloured bands according to their attractive forces to the cellulose in the paper.

The chlorophylls are strongly attracted to the paper, so they don't travel very far.

The nonpolar carotene molecules have little attraction to the polar cellulose, so they are carried along by the solvent front.

What can be made in a laboratory

<span>Synthetic gem crystals have been manufactured since the late 1800s, and their production is often marked by a need for them in industrial applications outside of the jewelry industry. The first success was in producing synthetic ruby of faceting quality. Synthetic crystals are used in communications and laser technology, microelectronics, and abrasives. Because synthetics for jewelry applications can be “made to order” [i.e. consistent color and crystal shape] given the right ingredients, time, and the facilities to grow them, they are likely to be much less rare than natural gems of equal size, clarity, and saturation of color. Because of this, and because it is possible to confuse them with gems that are naturally occurring, there are strict guidelines regarding how they are marketed and sold. so that is you answer </span>
