Magnesium is the only mineral element present in chlorophyll, though there are certain elements carbon nitrogen oxygen and hydrogen in composition of chlorophyll but are not mineral elements.Chlorophyll (also chlorophyl) is any of several related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts of algaeand plants.[1] Its name is derived from the Greek words χλωρός, chloros ("green") and φύλλον, phyllon ("leaf").[2] Chlorophyll is essential in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb energy from light.
Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum as well as the red portion.[3]Conversely, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum, which it reflects, producing the green color of chlorophyll-containing tissues. Two types of chlorophyll exist in the photosystems of green plants: chlorophyll a and b
