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.
Nitrogen (N) is essential for plant growth and is part of every living cell. It plays many roles in plants and is necessary for chlorophyll synthesis. Plants take up most of their N as the ammonium (NH 4 +) or nitrate (NO 3 -) ion.otassium (K) is one of the essential nutrients and is taken up in significant amounts by crops. Potassium is vital to photosynthesis, protein synthesis and many other functions in plants. Itâs classified as a macronutrient, as are nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Plants take up K in its ionic form (K +).
