Answer:
The role of magnesium in the soil
Magnesium is the central core of the chlorophyll molecule in plant tissue. Thus, if Mg is deficient, the shortage of chlorophyll results in poor and stunted plant growth. Magnesium also helps to activate specific enzyme systems.
Magnesium is an essential plant nutrient and is a key element of the chlorophyll molecule. Chlorophyll makes plants green and is used by a plant to convert sunlight into energy via photosynthesis.
No magnesium, no photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the complex process whereby a plant uses the chlorophyll molecule(s) to convert carbon dioxide, water, and certain inorganic salts into carbohydrates. Carbohydrates form the building blocks for all plant cells.
