Green chlorophyl

A chromatographic column filled in three sections with ground sugar, chalk, and alumina. When a petroleum extract of spinach leaves is run onto the top of the column, ihe extract spreads down the column, but not uniformly bands of green chlorophylls stop near the top. yellow xanthophyll further down, and red carotene near the bottom.

Carotenoids are also present in animal products such as eggs, lobsters, greyflsh, and various types of hsh. In higher plants, they occur in photosynthetic tissues and choloroplasts where their color is masked by that of the more predominant green chlorophyll. The best known are P-carotene and lycopene but others are also used as food colorants a-carotene, y-carotene, bixin, norbixin, capsanthin, lycopene, and P-apo-8 -carotenal, the ethyl ester of P-apo-8-carotenic acid. These are Upid-soluble compounds, but the chemical industry manufactures water-dispersible preparations by formulating coUoid suspensions by emulsifying the carotenoids or by dispersing them in appropriate colloids. ...

The most important reaction in the world is the oxidation of carbon and the next most important one is the reaction by which carbon compounds are produced in growing plants from carbon dioxide by sunlight in the presence of green chlorophyll. 

Mitochondria were first observed by R. Altmann in 1890. He named them bioblasts, because he speculated that they and chloroplasts (the green chlorophyll-containing organelles of plants) might be intracellular symbionts that arose from bacteria and algae, respectively. This idea lay in disrepute until the recent discovery of mitochondrial nucleic acids.

The polypeptides of the light-harvesting complex are most easily resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of thylakoid membranes solubilized with sodium or lithium dodecyl sulphate. This produces the green chlorophyll-protein band, CP II, which on staining for protein reveals up to four polypeptides of 24-27 kDa [2], each of which is believed to bind Chi a and Chi b. In most plants two polypeptides predominate, but other minor polypeptides may be resolved [2]. 

Autumn Leaves A color change can indicate a chemical reaction. When leaves change colors in autumn, the reaction may not be what you expect. The bright yellow and orange are always in the leaves, but masked by green chlorophyll. When the growth season ends, more chlorophyll is broken down than produced. The orange and yellow colors become visible.
