Magnesium is a constituent of chlorophyll chlorophylls are the green photosynthetic pigmetns. Five types of chlorophylls a,b,c,d and e occur in plants. Out of these only chlorophylls a and b occurs in the chloroplasts of higher plants Molecular formula of chlorophyll a,b,c and d are `C_(55)H_(72)O_(5)MG,C_(55)H_(70)O_(6)N_(4)Mg,C_(35)H_(32)O_(5)N_(4)Mg`. and `C_(54)H_(70)O_(6)N_(4)Mg` respectively Chlorophyll e is a rare type found in some golden algae.
