Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which metal is found in plants?
A
Cr
B
Fe
C
CO
D
Mg
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnesium metal is present in chlorophyll, the green plant pigment, and is responsible for capturing sunlight during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnesium is the central core of the chlorophyll molecule in plant tissue. Thus, if Mg is deficient, the shortage of chlorophyll results in poor and stunted plant growth. Magnesium also helps to activate specific enzyme systems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Magnesium is an important element in plants. It is an important element present in the center of chlorophyll. It is present in all green plants and necessary to conduct photosynthesis. It acts as an enzyme and helps in respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnesium (Mg) is an essential nutrient for a wide array of fundamental physiological and biochemical processes in plants. It largely involves chlorophyll synthesis, production, transportation, and utilization of photoassimilates, enzyme activation, and protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mg2+ is the central atom of the chlorophyll molecule, and fluctuations in its levels in the chloroplast regulate the activity of key photosynthetic enzymes. Relatively little is known of the proteins mediating Mg2+ uptake and transport in plants.
