Essential Plant Nutrients

1. used in the makeup of chlorophyll. Is it essential for photosynthesis to occur. It activates enzymes needed for plant growth, as well as the metabolism of carbohydrates.
4. helps in the production of starch needed for cellulose production. It helps with fruit and seed development.
7. is used by plants in the makeup of nucleoli acids. It is very important due to its roll in ATP and NADP, two important molecules of photosynthesis.
8. used to make amino acids, which are the building blocks or proteins. It helps plants resist cold weather and in chlorophyll formation.
9. used for reproductive growth stimulation and helps with protein synthesis.
11. used in the breakdown of carbohydrates as well as the metabolism of nitrogen.
12. needed in plants for the transformation of carbohydrates and regulation of sugar consumption. It helps regulate plant growth.

1. used in plants to help in the process of nitrogen fixation.
2. helps promote rapid growth of the plant, especially in leaves. It promotes fruit and seed development, as well as makes up amino acids, proteins in plant.
3. used in the formation of chlorophyll, which is used in photosynthesis.
5. is used in plant processes and enzyme systems.
6. needed by plants because it is used in photosynthesis. It facilitates cell division and growth, as well as regulates opening and closing of stomata. It improves quality of fruits.
10. used in plants as a part of the cell wall. It helps strengthen the wall and allows for normal transportation across the membrane.
