Why does a plant need nitrogen to grow?
magnesium ions are found in the centre of chlorophyll moolecules, and as chlorophyll is an essential component in the reaction of photosynthesis, which produces energy for growth, magnesium ions are therefore essential.
Which metal is present in chlorophyll?
sodium and potassium. This is actually an experiment. collect dry leaves and burn them to ashes, then dissolve them on droplets of water. Then make the water evaporate by burning using alcohol lamp. then put denatured alcohol, dissolve the mixture and transfer it to aluminum foil then burn it. if the color of the flame is yellow it is sodium, purple is potassium
What are the 2 different types of chlorophyll?
Different types of chlorophyll really differ only based on the side chains of the molecule, as all of the chlorophyll types have a chlorin ring around a magnesium ion. As well, they're denoted by letters, a, b, c1, c2, d, and f. The different types of chlorophyll absorb different spectrums of light, and are found in different types of plants.
Where in chloroplasts is light energy absorbed?
chloroplast have membrane bound sac like structures piled up on top of each other called thylakoids which have chlorophyll(pigment having "Mg"ion) filled in them, this pigment is primarily responsible for absorption of photons of light
Why do plants need magnesium?
Magnesium is part of the chlorophyll in all green plants and essential for photosynthesis.Magnesium is found in algal pigments (known as chlorophyll) and is used in the metabolism of plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria.Magnesium is found in many enzymes in both plantsand animals. An enzyme is a catalyst in a living organism. It speeds up the rate at which certain changesWithout magnesium it would die because it would not be able to photosynthesise. So it would not have any food which is glucose as energy for growth and repair. The magnesium is needed so that the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts can capture the sun's light energy and use it for photosynthesis.(Cheers)
Is monosodium glutamate organic or inorganic?
it is composed of two ions: sodium+ ion and the covalently bonded glutamate- ion.
Is the compound HN4 organic or Inorganic?
there is no such compound. But if u mean NH4+ ion, then it is definitely inorganic.
What is an example of an inorganic ion?
An ion is any atom or molecule that carries a charge. Ions can be organic molecules, containing carbon, or in organic. An example of an inorganic ion is the sodium and chloride ions that dissociate as table salt dissolves in water.

What are nitrates classified as?
The ion nitrate is a component of inorganic compounds but also of organic compounds.
What bacteria can be grown in inorganic nutrients and oxidizes ammonia to nitrate ion?
chemoautotrophs.
What ion is essential for thyroid function?
Iodine
What has the author Janaki Seneviratne written?
Janaki Seneviratne has written: 'Preconcentration and sol-gel based separations for inorganic ion determination' -- subject(s): Analysis, Chemistry, Inorganic, Inorganic Chemistry, Trace elements
Why is pheophytin less polar than chlorophyll?
Pheophytin and Chlorophyll are similar in there makeup. The difference between the two is that the magnesium ion is replaced by hydrogen making it less polar.
An acid is a substance that tastes sour reacts with metals and carbonates and what?
Also an inorganic acid contain the ion H+ and an organic acid the ion (COOH).
Name the metalloporphyrin essential for photosynthesis and the metal ion involved in it?
Porphyrins is the metalloporphyrin that is essential for photosynthesis.
List of inorganic compounds found in living system?
None!!!! However, living systems have inorganic metal ions in their systems. For humans the two most important metal ions are Iron(III) ion ( Fe^3+), and Calcium ion. The Fe^3+ ion is part of human blood in gives it its red colour. The Ca^2+ ion is required for the maintenance of of human bones.
