Ques. 1AIPMT 2003

Which element is located at the centre of the porphyrin ring in chlorophyll?

  1. Calcium
  2. Magnesium
  3. Potassium
  4. Manganese

Answer

(2) Magnesium

Solution

Chlorophyll molecule = a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) head + a phytol tail.

⇒ The four nitrogen atoms of the porphyrin ring hold a single metal atom at the centre, which is magnesium (Mg).

∴ Magnesium is located at the centre of the porphyrin ring of chlorophyll.

Answer: (2)
