Chlorophyll
Question: chlorophyll? Is it safe to take Chlorophyll while nursing??
Answer: Hi DH, chlorophyll, the pigment that makes green vegetables green, is sensitive to acids. This a substance that is found in all plants. Is it acts as a blood detoxifier, which helps increase circulation to all your organs. It does this by dilating blood vessels and it is also a natural deodorant because it helps reduce offensive body orders. Wow, 2 in one can’t beat that.
Super green foods come from young cereal grasses like wheat, barley, rye, alfalfa, oats, kelp, chlorella and many others as well. These have a whole lot of nutrients in them; they even have more nutrients than spinach, eggs, broccoli, chicken in calcium, iron, protein and all of the other categories as well. So it would be better for you to opt for super greens.
There are many types of green drinks that are prepared with powders. But the green drink that I like is made using only liquid chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll has many benefits. It is capable of neutralizing substances that cause cell mutations and strengthens the cell walls of the small intestine and colon. It has an exceptional deodorizing effect on your body and on the stools you have during a bowel movement.
I drink my green drink the first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This helps to activate your colon and stimulate it to have a bowel movement.
Here’s how I prepare my green drink.
* Add 1-2 oz of pure liquid chlorophyll into an empty glass (you may want to start with a tablespoon or two)
* Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the glass
* Fill the glass with 8 oz of distilled water
* Drink the combination completely
Try some parsley. This food garnish is rich in chlorophyll, a green plant compound that kills the bacteria that cause bad odor.
Nettles is a longtime favorite of herbalists. is is rich in vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and chlorophyll.

Question: What is a difference between chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b? A) Chlorophyll a and b absorb light energy at slightly different wavelengths.
B) Chlorophyll a absorbs yellow light, and chlorophyll b absorbs green.
C) Chlorophyll a is a pigment, and chlorophyll b is the enzyme that transfers excited electrons
from chlorophyll a to electron carriers of the thylakoid membrane.
D) Chlorophyll a contains Mg++ in a ring structure, whereas chlorophyll b contains iron
Answer: The answer is A.
Basically, to maximize photosynthetic output, and to be as efficient as possible, both Chlorophyll types are utilized to capture the different wave lengths given off by the sunlight.
Question: Chlorophyll is known to deodorize flatulence in humans; does it also work for dogs? Also, is it truly safe to give chlorophyll to dogs and cats? How do I figure how much is ok for them? I'm not taking a poll, and I can guess, of course. I want to hear from you if you really know the facts. I'd also love to hear from you if you can tell me where to find these facts myself. Thanks much!
Answer: Yes it does. Chlorophyll works the same in all animals, even birds.
This is why most animals have their young in the spring when their diet consist of spring plant growth. They and their young have less oder and are harder for predators to find.
But remember, if a product has an oder it can only alter an oder, it can not eliminate it.
Question: What is the primary color absorbed by chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in plants? Is it blue for chlorophyll a and red for chlorophyll b?
I am not quite sure about it so I would like to verify the information and gather more data. Please help. Thank you.
Answer: Chlorophyll a and b absorb very little light in the green range but are very active in the absorption of blue and red light.
Chlorophyll b is bluish-green, and carotenoids are red, orange, and yellow. Accessory pigments are different colors than the green chlorophyll a and, therefore, extend the range of light used for photosynthesis by absorbing wavelengths missed by chlorophyll a.
Question: What visible colors does chlorophyll a reflects? I know that chlorophyll a absorbs blue, red, and violet but I don't know what it reflects.
Answer: Chlorophyll a reflects green light, which is why plants look green.
Question: Why do plants use chlorophyll for energy production when a black chemical would be more efficient? Doesn't the fact chlorophyll reflects green light make it less efficient at absorbing energy than a darker chemical? Plants seem to be green the world over, regardless of the amount of sunlight available - why aren't they shades of grey? (i.e. lighter in regions where there is 'too much' light, and darker in regions where there is less light available)
Answer: The relevant colours for the absorption of sunlight to convert light energy to chemical energy are first of all green, but yellow, red and orange too.
Additional the chlorophyll-molecule has a very stabile structure ,so that it could survive in the long time of evolution.

Question: Leaves of Maize Crop affected, chlorophyll is eaten away and leaves becoming papery. How to control? Maize (corn) crop is at preflowering stage, and healthy, but for the last three days about 5% of the plants leaves show symptoms of chlorophyll eaten away, and affected portion becoming papery. Seems to be a new disease? How to control?
Answer: Chlorosis in corn is usually associated with low amounts of iron in the soil or with a high pH (above 7.5). In the case of the high pH the plant will not take up sufficient iron to make its chlorophyll. So, first would test the soil take a few sample from different places in the soil and place in separate plastic bags. Take the sample to your local Farm extension or University Testing agency.
Then go to your local farm store and get some iron that you can add to the soil around your plants. I don't know if you are talking about 144 square feet or 100 acres of plants. If you have a problem with 100 acres of corn I would ask the representative at the farm Extension.
Question: What purpose is directly served by chlorophyll aduring photosynthesis? What purpose is directly served by chlorophyll aduring photosynthesis?
It donates H+ so the chemiosmotic gradient can be formed.
It forms the end product for photosynthesis.
It catalyzes the hydrolysis of water.
It allows for the conversion of energy.
It is the raw material from which glucose is formed.
Answer: It allows for the conversion of energy.
Question: How do you separate different types of chlorophyll? How do you separate different types of chlorophyll? Please & thank-you! And in simple terms if you can!
Answer: The best way is by column chromatography. But I did not think that you have an HPLC at hand. The best way is to take a few leaves from the same tree and crunch them up in an (m)ethanol solution. Then put the leaves and methonal or ethanol solution into a bowl with some sand. Take a rock and grind it all together. Then strain out the debris from the leaves and take the liquid and save it. This is your chlorophyll. Then buy chromatography paper (you can buy it on the internet or ask your teacher) and get a few eye droppers (use the disposable plastic ones). Now the tricky part comes in. Now you need a medum to travel the chorophyll up the paper. I wouls use a polar substance. Maybe a 9:1 ratio of some chemicals. You need to look at the structure of the chlorophyll to determine the solvent. But I think you can avoid the solvent and just use damp chromatography paper with water and then place a small dot in the center of the paper and the pigments should separate.
good luck.
Question: How many chlorophyll capsules should I take? I love the product called "Body Mint." One or two capsules a day really keeps body odor neutralized for me even in the summer. But it costs over $20 per month. I've seen chlorophyll capsules on line but I don't know what the equivalent dose is.
I know that that it is effective for people with colostomies but I don't know what the dosage is or if it can be harmful for extended periods of time.
Answer: I take it regularly...one capsule with meals.
Question: What color of light does chlorophyll transmit? Chlorophyll is a plant pigment that absorbs light energy from the sun. What color of light does chlorophyll transmit?
One word answer please.
Answer: green of course :)
Question: What is the relationship between chlorophyll and catalase? For example, when comparing a plant with little chlorophyll (ex: cauliflower) to a plant with more chlorophyll (ex: broccoli), would levels of catalase increase or decrease?
Sources would be very helpful :)!
Answer: It appears from experiments that when chlorophyll is being synthesized rapidly in the plastids, catalase activity decreases. Conversely, when chlorophyll activity is blocked, catalase activity increases.
So.. does this mean that with cauliflower's reduced chlorophyll there is corresponding increase in catalase activity?
One could guess on the result, but a lab experiment would be better...
That is a good hypothesis to base an experiment on..
I would be interested to see your experiments
Question: What determines the chlorophyll concentration in a river? I can't seem to find any good research on this, but I'm wondering what affects chlorophyll concentration and why it differs between habitats in a riverine ecosystem?
Answer: it depends on the amount of leaves that fall in the river. leaves have chlorophyll that leaches out as the leaf decomposes in the water.
Question: How and why is iron used to produce chlorophyll? I know iron is needed to produce chlorophyll. But HOW and WHY is it needed?
Check it up. Iron IS needed in minute amounts to produce chlorophyll. There's something called iron chlorosis.
Thanks for the effort, rainbowunweaver. :) I know iron is not a constituent of chlorophyll. But it is NEEDED to for its production.
As for kurdiatcha, ha.
Answer: >>>>I know iron is needed to produce chlorophyll.
No, you don't. Really.
Question: What wavelengths of light are absorbed best by chlorophyll a and b? also..
what wavelength is absorbed most poorly by chlorophyll a and b?
I really need help on these questions.
Thanks.
Answer: red and blue.
That is why a plant is green, it reflects green wavelengths and absorbs the other colors.
in the picture, the colors absorbed are the peaks.

Good Luck!
Question: When electrons of a chlorophyll molecule are excited to a higher energy level, what happens? a. carotenoids break down to become ions.
b. they enter the Calvin cycle.
c. they are transferred to a primary electron acceptor.
d. carotenoids are converted to chlorophyll.
Answer: c. they are transferred to a primary electron acceptor.
Basically the energy goes into the electron acceptor. These electrons then get pumped out of the membrane to create a chemiosmotic gradient that will produce the energy required to bind phosphates to ADP and create ATP.
