(a) Chlorophylls are magnesium porphyrin compounds. Chlorophyll-a ( |
) and chlorophyll-b (
), both consist of magnesium porphyrin head, which is hydrophilic and a phytol tail, which is lipophilic but chlorophyll-b differs from chlorophyll-a only in one of the functional groups bonded to porphyrin. Actually in chlorophyll-b, there is 
(aldehyde) group instead of 
(methyl) group at the third C-atom in second pyrrole ring.
