AP Biology Lab 4: AP Plant Pigment and Photosynthesis Lab - 4 Lab Stations
PRODUCT DETAILS
Separate plant pigments and measure the rate of photosynthesis. Using paper chromatography, your students separate and identify the plant pigments of chlorophyll and calculate their Rf values. In addition, they’ll extract chloroplasts from spinach leaves to measure the rate of photosynthesis under different temperatures, light intensities and wavelengths of light. The comprehensive background information section includes an overview of chromatography, the function of plant pigments and their role in photosynthesis, and the relationships between light intensity, wavelength and rate of photosynthesis.
