Answer:

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplast in plants. It absorbs sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. It is a chelate molecule. In a chelate molecule a central metal ion forms bonds with a large organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and other elements like nitrogen or oxygen.

In chlorophyll, magnesium is the central metal ion and it is bonded to a large organic molecule called as porphyrin. Porphyrin constitutes four nitrogen atoms to which the central magnesium is bonded in square planar arrangement. Since chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of the leaves, more the green color more the chlorophyll content and more is the nitrogen content. Hence, chlorophyll meter measures this green light and finds out if the plant needs more or less nitrogen.

Conduits are the structures that are hollow and cylindrical like a pipe, channel or tube through which any material can pass. The material can be electrical wires, gases or even water. Therefore, the functions of conduits is to mediate the transport of materials from one place to another.

These conduits can be rigid or flexible depending upon their use and the material to be transported. Care should be taken when these conduits are embedded inside the wall that they are not very close and in contact with the wall otherwise the conduits may get damaged.
