MCQ
Co$-$ordination compounds have great importance in biological systems. In this context which of the
following statements is incorrect?
  • Chlorophylls are green pigments in plants and contain calcium.
  • B
    Haemoglobin is the red pigments of blood and contains iron.
  • C
    Cyanocobalamin is vitamin $B_{12}$ and contains cobalt.
  • D
    Carboxypeptidase$-A$ is an enzyme and contains zinc.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Chlorophylls are green pigments in plants and contain calcium.
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that helps in photosynthesis. The metal inside the ring structure of chlorophyll is magnesium $(\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}).$
