In addition to running aspartic acid, phenylalanine, aspartame and hydrolyzed aspartame, let's assume that you also ran leucine on your TLC plate in this lab. Would you expect leucine to travel farther than or less than aspartic acid, and why?

A. Leucine is nonpolar, thus it should travel farther than aspartc acid on my TLC plate
B. Leucine is polar, thus i should travel less than aspartic acid on my TLC plate
C. Leucine is polar, thus it should travel farther than aspartic acid on my TLC plate
D. Leucine is nonpolar, thus should travel less than aspartic acid on my TLC plate.
