ok im totally confusedbecause of my topic someone help me?

Question

ok heres the details

my topic was extract chlorophyll from plants and determine whether its an acid or a base based on it pH lvl and how an acidic or a base chlorophyll affet the plants behavior

Answer 1

I can remember extracting it in school, where we put some leaves in a mortar basin, covered them with some solvent which I think was acetone, and then ground them with a pestle and left them until the liquid was dark green.
We then filtered this, and waited for the acetone to evaporate off, leaving the chlorophyll behind.

I'm sorry I can't help with the rest but I can't think of a way you can ph test without lab chemicals, unless you can use one of those garden soil analizers or something.

Answer 2

Hmmm... I suggest that you do the following:

1. Get different leaf samples from different plants. (Get from at least 30 different plants, to have at least a statistically sound sampling)....

2, Pound those leaves separately for each plant and add pure or distilled water (not mineral or tap water). Strain them and put in different containers.

3. Test the acidity of the leaves of each plant (You may use litmus paper-either red or blue, I am assuming you are familiar with them). Record the plants with acidic and base chlorophylls.

4. After determining which plants have acidic or basic pH levels, try to find the commonality in the acidic group and in the basic group. You may start with leaf size, plant height, usage, edible-ness, etc.... This way, you will have a basic hypothesis on how the pH level of chlorophyll affects plant behavior.

To determine more, you will need to perform more exact and stringent experiments.

Hope that helps....

Answer 3

Lots of things affet the plants behavior

Answer 4

Some consume, some apply on wound. I suppose you are talking of the same stuff.

Answer 5

FOREGET ABOUT SCIENCE, STUDY DRAMA, MAYBE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THAT!
