Which one of the following is an important component of chlorophyll?
- A Mn
- B Zn
- C Fe
- D Mg
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Mg
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Chlorophyll is a magnesium-porphyrin complex. The central metal ion coordinated within the porphyrin ring structure of the chlorophyll molecule is magnesium (\(Mg^{2+}\)). While other elements like iron, manganese, and zinc are essential micronutrients for various plant…
