Paper Chromatography
The pigments are separated by their affinity
for water. Chlorophyll b is the most polar, and carotene is the
least.
Two molecules of chlorphyll a occupy the reaction
center in both photo systems I and II.
All four pigments act as accessory pigments
in the photo systems.
Carotene is a dietary source of vitamin A.
