Part A A coleus plant has variegated leaves showing a variety of pigments. If this plant has a high percentage of leaf coverage that appears yellow and orange mottled among the green portions of the leaf, what type of pigments would be associated with the yellow and orange sections of the leaf?

A student prepares an extract of photosynthetic pigments from the leaves of an unknown plant. The student plots the absorption spectrum of the solution and finds 3 major peaks located at 410 nm, 430 nm, and at 675 nm. Based on his analysis, the solution most likely contains: Chlorophyll a Amount of light absorbed Chlorophyll b Carotenoids 500 600 Wavelength of light (nm) a mixture of chlorophylls a and b and carotenoids pure chlorophyll b pure chlorophyll a a mixture of chlorophylls a and b
