  1. AP LAB 4

  2. Photosynthesis Lab • What does the spectrophotometer measure? • What did the chloroplasts do in the lab? • What purpose does DPIP serve in the lab? • How did DPIP behave in the lab? • What molecule is DPIP replacing? • What is the source of electrons to reduce DPIP? • Explain the results in each setup? • Unboiled/Dark • Unboiled/Light • Boiled/Light • No chloroplasts

  3. Chromatography Rf values are known and can be used to identify pigments (they are specific)

  4. Pigments Accessory Primary Chlorophylla Chlorophyll b Carotenoids Carotene Xanthophyll

  5. Rf Values • It is a ratio • .20 = x / 54nm • X = ~ 11mm

  6. Absorption Spectrum

  7. Spectrophotometer Measures light transmittance/absorbance

  8. DPIP – e- acceptor Changes from blue to colorless as it is reduced
