As you saw while performing thin layer chromatography, photosynthetic pigments are mostly hydrophobic substances soluble in organic solvents but not in water-based solutions. How does this feature explain the location of these pigments within the chloroplast?
What will be an ideal response?
The pigments are located within the thykaloid membrane and are exposed to organic substances like protein and hydrogen ions; the location ensures that the pigments “stay put” so that they may participate in photosynthesis.
