Which pigment traveled the farthest on the chromatography paper?

The picture shows a thin layer chromatogram of an extract of leaves of annual meadow grass (Poa annua). Plastic sheets were coated with silica gel. A drop of extract was spotted at the bottom of the sheet. The sheet was then placed in a beaker of solvent [75% acetone and 25% petroleum ether].

Question Image

Identify the most soluble pigment.

Glass jars containing cultures of chlorella vulgaris microalgae were used as mesocosms. The carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the waste was pumped into the jars to promote photosynthesis and therefore growth of the algae. The jars were kept at 25°C. State one other condition required in this mesocosm.
