Which of the following statements regarding important porphyrins and chlorins found in nature is NOT correct?
A) Chlorophyll can absorb red and blue light owing to the presence of delocalized p electrons in the chlorin ring.
B) Chlorophyll contains a central Mg2+ ion in a chlorin ring structure.
C) Carbon monoxide binds at the axial site of the Fe2+ ion in heme more strongly than oxygen,which prevents O2 from being taken up and transported through the body.
D) Cytochromes contain Fe2+ ions that bind oxygen during metabolic processes,which allows O2 to be transported into and out of cells.
E) All of these are correct.
