The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Choose the correct statement," we will analyze each of the provided statements regarding chlorophyll and its properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement**: - The statement claims that "chlorophyll A is soluble in petroleum ether and shows maximum adsorption at 453 and 642 nanometers." - **Evaluation**: Chlorophyll A is indeed soluble in petroleum ether, but it shows maximum absorption at approximately 465 nm and 665 nm, not 453 nm and 642 nm. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement**: - The statement claims that "in chlorophyll B, CH3 replaces CHO at the 3rd carbon of chlorophyll A." - **Evaluation**: In chlorophyll B, it is actually the CHO (aldehyde group) that replaces CH3 (methyl group) at the 3rd carbon of chlorophyll A. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement**: - The statement claims that "chlorophyll B is soluble in methyl alcohol and shows maximum adsorption peak in 429 and 460 nanometers." - **Evaluation**: Chlorophyll B is soluble in methyl alcohol, but it shows maximum absorption peaks at approximately 450 nm and 640 nm, not 429 nm and 460 nm. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement**: - The statement claims that "for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll, the raw material required is Succinyl Coenzyme A and Glycine." - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. Succinyl Coenzyme A and Glycine are indeed the precursors required for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: **"For the biosynthesis of chlorophyll, the raw material required is Succinyl Coenzyme A and Glycine."** ---
