Green Spinach Leaf Pigment Chromatography Based on the infor

Green Spinach Leaf Pigment Chromatography

Based on the information you found in about the various pigments in the green spinach leaf, your understanding of how photopigments are involved in photosynthesis, and your experimental results, if you were going to grow your plant in a greenhouse, which color(s) of lightbulb would be the best for promoting photosynthesis? Which color(s) would be the worst? Please explain why.

Solution

On performing the chromatography on the spinach leave, four types of color band will be visible. They are following:-

For accelerating the photosynthesis, yellow or purple colored light bulb is best because the intensity of yellow and purple color is perfect for inducing the photosynthesis in plants.

Red color have maximum intensity and can cause damage to the plant\'s photopigments so Red color is worst in green houses.
