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 like other metals of the alkali group decomposes in water with the evolution of hydrogen it oxidizes rapidly in the air and has to be stored under a suitable mineral oil or under argon potassium catches on fire unexpectedly in water and the salts that potassium contains add a lilac color to the flamespotassium is a necessary element in the human diet bananas are a rich in potassiumit is an essential element and is grouped in a cluster on the periodic table with other essential elements essential non metal elements and beneficial elements potassium has many other uses as well it is used for fertilizer low sodium salt glass and saltotassium is a necessary element in the human diet bananas are a rich in potassium it is an essential element and is grouped in a cluster on the periodic table with other essential elements essential non metal elements and beneficial elements potassium has many other uses as well
