OBSERVATION AND INTERPRETATION:
DOCUMENTATION:

Procedure Documentation
Day 1

1. Cut the vegetables into (Okra)


very small pieces and
place each in its own
small jar.

(Tomato)
Procedure Documentation
Day 1

2. Label the jars with the (Okra)


name of the vegetable and
add enough rubbing
alcohol (enough to
submerge) to each jar to
cover the vegetables.

(Tomato)
Procedure Documentation
Day 1
3. Cover the jars loosely
with plastic wrap or
aluminum foil (or any
plastics cellophane
available).

4. Place the jars carefully into a


shallow tray containing 1 inch of
hot tap water. Keep the jars in the
water for at least a
half-hour, longer if needed,
until the alcohol has become
colored (the darker the better).
Twirl each jar gently about
every five minutes. Replace the
hot water if it cools off within
30 minutes.
Let stand overnight.
Procedure Documentation
Day 2
1. Cut a long thin strip of
coffee filter paper (or
tissue paper, paper towel,
cheese cloth, fine cloth)
for each of the jars.

2. Label the paper using a


permanent marker/pen with
the same name as on the
jars so that they match.
Procedure Documentation
Day 2
3. Remove jars from water,
dry off and uncover. Place a
strip of filter paper (or tissue
paper, paper towel, cheese
cloth, fine cloth)into each so
that jar one end is in the
alcohol. Bend the other end
over the top of the jar and
secure it with tape.

4. Remove the strips of


paper and let them dry.
Tape them to a piece of
plain paper to analyze later.
QUESTIONS:
1.What have you noticed in the
a.color of the alcohol after 30 minutes then after 1 hour?
Answer: Alcohol in Okra still looks transparent after 30 minutes. After 1 hour
the alcohol looks green. Alcohol in Tomato also looks transparent after 30
minutes. After 1 hour the alcohol looks red and orange.
b.color of the filter paper after 30 minutes then after an hour?
Answer: Green pigment is found in okra after 30 minutes. The green pigment
is still present after an hour. Red pigment is found in the tomato after 30
minutes. After an hour, the red and orange pigment are.
2. How many colors did you see on the filter paper after an hour?
Answer: 1 color is present in okra filter paper after an hour. 2 colors are
present after an hour in the tomato filter paper.
3. What color/s travel/s farthest? Answer: red-orange travel the farthest than green.
Answer: red-orange travel the farthest than green.

DISCUSSION:
In order to demonstrate the chemical make-up

food used in this experiment,
specifically okra and tomato, modified chromatography was utilized in
conducting the experiment in order to see the nutrients inside the plants.
Chromatography is a method for separating mixture components and can be used
to identify some of the components. This implies that the filter paper will display
the breakdown of the components. Chromatogram is the name for this breakdown
of the pigments. The solubility of the components, in this case the pigments,
determines how quickly they draw over the paper or the speed that they dissolve
in the liquid (Steamfest, nd). Plant matter that has been dissolved separates as it
moves with the alcohol up the filter paper. The plant matter's more soluble
components move farthest. The presence of various colors on your filter paper
denotes the presence of various molecules in your sample (American
Ophthalmology Academy, 2022).
CONCLUSION:

The more soluble parts of the plant matter travel farthest.


There were different colors on the filter paper which
indicates that there are different kinds of molecules in the
sample. The most soluble molecule in our experiment was
the beta-carotene which is a red-orange pigment that
belongs to the carotenoid group found in tomatoes. The
green pigment found in the okra was the chlorophyll.

Severe Vitamin B12 deficiency
is a vitamin deficiency that is
present in this situation.

2. Support your answer.


In accordance with the patient's complaints, symptoms included
fatigue, trouble focusing, paresthesia in the hands and feet, loss of taste,
aversion to the smell of cooked meat, and more. These are the
