Why do plants only need a small amount of magnesium for growth?

Magnesium is needed by plants to make the green pigment chlorophyll and to activate some enzymes. Although there may appear to be a lot of chlorophyll in plants, each chlorophyll molecule only contains one magnesium atom. The molecular weight of chlorophyll (in fact, chlorophyll a) is 893.5. The atomic weight of magnesium is 24.3. So magnesium only makes up about 2.7% of the weight of the chlorophyll. Enzymes are catalysts and are only needed in small amounts to catalyse reactions, as they are used over and over again, so only small amounts of magnesium are needed. http://www.efma.org/introduction/section01.asp
