Detailed explanation-1: -Iron and magnesium are essential for the synthesis of chlorophyll of plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -3) Mg is the central atom of the chlorophyll pigment and also required for its biosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnesium is used in the metal present in chlorophyll. Without Mg plants would not be able to capture sunlight to convert energy. Magnesium is the central atom of the chlorophyll pigment.

Detailed explanation-5: -In plants, iron is involved in the synthesis of chlorophyll, and it is essential for the maintenance of chloroplast structure and function.
