1 In Photosynthesis, potassium regulates the opening and closing of stomata, and therefore regulates CO2 uptake. 2  Potassium triggers activation of enzymes and is essential for production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). 3  ATP is an important energy source for many chemical processes taking place in plant issues. Protein and starch synthesis in plants require potassium as well. 2  Potassium is essential at almost every step of the protein synthesis. 3  In starch synthesis, the enzyme responsible for the process is activated by potassium.
Potassium is an essential mineral micronutrient and is the main intracellular ion for all types of cells. It is important in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the bodies of humans and animals. Potassium is necessary for the function of all living cells, and is thus present in all plant and animal tissues.It is found in especially high concentrations within plant cells, and in a mixed diet, it is most highly concentrated in fruits.otassium is necessary for the function of all living cells, and is thus present in all plant and animal tissues.
