Explanation:

Each has one chlorin ring- chlorin is a form of porphyrin.

Chlorophylls are comprised of a ringed molecule, chlorin, a hydrogenated form of porphyrin which contains a magnesium ion at the center, bonded to four atoms of nitrogen. Varying types of Chlorophyll have side chains, which affect the absorption spectrum of the molecule for instance A has a methyl group bonded to the C7 position, while B has an aldehyle (CHO) group at this location.

Embedded within the thykaloid membrane of chloroplasts, chlorophyll a and B mainly absorb orange-red and violet-blue wavelengths and convert light energy into chemical energy for the process of photosynthesis. This occurs in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, within chloroplasts of plants. The range of wavelengths absorbed by a pigment is its absorption spectrum while it reflects those outside of this range. Plants appear green as this region of light is reflected by the pigments.

const2013 [10]

Olfaction is not a tactile sensation, nor it's related to chewing food.

Olfactory receptors are chemical receptors in the nasal cavity that react with different odors creating the sense of smell that is interpreted in the brain.

So, olfaction is a chemical sensation that we experience while inhaling different odors through our noses.
