A plant requires magnesium for:

Options

  1. Aprotein synthesis

  3. Ccell wall development
  4. Dholding cells together.

Correct answer

B. chlorophyll synthesis

Step-by-step solution

A plants require magnesium for chlorophyllsynthesis All four sings bind with metalatom magnesium ( Mg ⁺⁺ ) , Which remain present at the centre of chlorophyll molecule. Nitrogen is the main component for the synthesis of protein. Cell wall is made up cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin components.
