Understanding the process of photosynthesis and the pigments involved has never been easier. Using chromatography, students separate plant pigments from their own samples and then identify the plant's chloroplasts based on Rf values. Continuing their exploration, students then study the impact of various environmental factors on the photosynthesis reaction rates in different plants using DPIP indicator solution and a spectrophotometer.
