I am doing a lab on Paper Chromotography of Photosynthetic pigments. The 
pigments are Chlorophyll a b c, carotenes, xanthophylls, and I think I know 
the reactions of these pigments. I would expect to find CHol a and b in the 
spinach solution. I expect to find carotene and xanthophyllis. But what about 
CHlor c????? What is Chlor C? Is this a good hypothesis?

But what about lutein and fucoxanthin? Will they be present, and if so, by how 
much? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
Amanda May
