28 wrz 2021 · How Leaf Chromatography Works. Paper chromatography separates pigments in leaf cells on the basis of three criteria: Solubility; Molecule size; Polarity; Solubility is a measure of how well a pigment molecule dissolves in the solvent. In this project, the solvent is alcohol. Crushing the leaves breaks open cells so pigments interact with alcohol.
There are four different pigment groups present in leaves of photosynthesizing plants. Studies indicate that only the chlorophyll IS involved in the actual absorption of light energy and later conversion to chemical energy of living cells. The other pigments also absorb light energy, but it
