    A)  Fe and S        

    B)  N and S

    C)  Mg and S        

    D)  Mg and N.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : Chlorophyll molecule has a complex porphyrin ring (head) to which is attached a long hydrophobic phytol\[({{C}_{28}}{{H}_{39}})\]chain (tail). The metal constituent of the molecule, the magnesium, is incorporated in this ring. Different chlorophylls have the following formulae - chlorophyll a\[-({{C}_{55}}{{H}_{70}}{{O}_{6}}{{N}_{4}}Mg),\]chlorophyll\[c-({{C}_{35}}{{H}_{32}}{{O}_{5}}{{N}_{4}}Mg),\]chlorophyll\[c-\]\[({{C}_{35}}{{H}_{32}}{{O}_{5}}{{N}_{4}}Mg),\] chlorophyll \[d\] \[-({{C}_{54}}{{H}_{70}}{{O}_{6}}{{N}_{4}}Mg).\]
