A(n) , used as part of the stationary phase, has an affinity for the solvent and the chemical components of the mixture. adsorbent eluent Rf factor chromatogram

The answer is Adsorbent

The adsorbent has a high affinity for solvent and the chemical components of the mixture.

Chromatography is a method of separation in which the mixture of substances is introduced into a mobile phase (solvent). The separation occurs as the solvent interacts with an adsorbent(stationary phase).

The extent of separation of the components of the mixture depends on the extent of interaction between the mobile and the stationary phase . This interaction also determines the retention factor (Rf) of the separation.

answer: cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create atp, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. it has four stages known as glycolysis, link reaction, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
