Chromatography Biology 1107L Introduction All living organisms require energy for their chemical processes. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun. Plants convert light energy into the chemical energy of sugars. During photosynthesis pigments are used to capture light energy. Pigments of green plants can easily be separated and identified using a technique called paper chromatography. The purpose of this experiment is to separate the pigments using paper chromatography. In

some groups contain members that are mixotrophic‚ deriving energy both from photosynthesis and uptake of organic carbon either by osmotrophy‚ myzotrophy‚ or phagotrophy. Some unicellular species rely entirely on external energy sources and have limited or no photosynthetic apparatus. Nearly all algae have photosynthetic machinery ultimately derived from cyanobacteria‚ and so produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis‚ unlike other photosynthetic bacteria such as purple and green sulfur bacteria

Passage 1 (1) An upsurge of new research suggests that animals have a much higher level of brainpower than previously thought. If animals do have intelligence‚ how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals’ intelligence‚ scientists defined what is not intelligence. Instinct is not intelligence. It is a skill programmed into an animal’s brain by its genetic heritage. Rote conditioning is also not intelligence. Tricks can be learned by repetition‚ but no real thinking is involved. Cuing

"nourishing") or "producer"‚ is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates‚ fats‚ and proteins) from simple substances present in its surroundings‚ generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). * Photosynthesis (pron.: /foʊtoʊˈsɪnθəsɪs/; from the Greek [photo-]‚ "light‚" and [synthesis]‚ "putting together"‚ "composition") is a process used by plants and other organisms to

energy. 9. Explain how C4 photosynthesis is based on a spatial arrangement of structures‚ whereas CAM photosynthesis is temporally based. C4 photosynthesis is based on a spatial arrangement of structures because in C4 plants‚ light and carbon reactions are separated into different cells. The light reactions along with a carbon-fixation reaction occur in mesophyll cells‚ but the Calvin cycle occurs in the inner ring of bundle-sheath cells. However‚ CAM photosynthesis is temporally based because

Dissolved oxygen enters water through the air and plant. Dissolved oxygen produce by the atmosphere and the process is called air saturation. The gasses a stable body of water with no stratification‚ dissolved oxygen will remain at 100% air saturation. 100% air saturation means that the water is holding as many dissolved gas molecules as it can in equilibrium. At equilibrium‚ the percentage of each gas in the water would be equivalent to the percentage of that gas in the atmosphere like its partial

1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. To start off with we will need to define photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis is a process in which carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants‚ algae and certain bacteria using energy from the sun and chlorophyll (dictionary.com). Respiration is all of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen
