Experiment 6.4. Measuring the Absorption Spectrum ofPigments.
1a. What was your dependent variable in thisexperiment?
1b. What are the wavelengths of greatest absorption ofcommon pigments:
Pigment
Greatest Absorption wavelengths in nm
Chlorophyll a
430, 662
Chlorophyll b
465, 660
Carotenes
450
Xanthophylls
425 - 445
1c. Explain why the color of pigment does not match theabsorption spectrum of the same pigment.
1d. What is the evolutionary advantage of havingthe variety of colored pigments?
Please I want to understand this assignment so typed theanswer and I will like and comment if I have a question. Thankyou!!!
