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.
In a process called âphotosynthesis,â plants use the energy in sunlight to convert CO2 and water to sugar and oxygen. The plants use the sugar for foodâfood that we use, too, when we eat plants or animals that have eaten plants â and they release the oxygen into the atmosphere.n a process called âphotosynthesis,â plants use the energy in sunlight to convert CO2 and water to sugar and oxygen.
