Answer:
a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.
Explanation:
The primary or main pigment in plants is the chlorophyll. The chlorophyll gives plants their characteristics green colour and helps in the absorption of light during photosynthesis.
Other pigments in plants include carotenoid with its characteristic yellow, red or orange colour; anthocyanin with its re/blue colour and betalains with its red/yellow colour.
<em>Hence, if pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, one would expect the pigments to be separated into several colour bands ranging from green to yellow/orange.</em>
The correct option is a.
The reactants of cellular respirationare oxygen and sugar, which are theproducts of photosynthesis. ... When plants are placed in darkness, cellular respiration continues, using ATP to convert sugar into ADP and releasing carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis stops in the absence of light energy.
