Potassium ion refers to the ion obtained by the loss of the outermost electron of the potassium atom, which has+1 valence and is written as K+。sylviteSoluble in water ormeltYou can also get potassium ions.Potassium ionNucleusThe external stable structure is 8 electrons.
Potassium ionicFlame reactionIt is purple and needs to be penetratedBlue cobalt glass(Prevent Na+It can be seen that the potassium ion in the solution is colorless.[1]

Functions in animals
Potassium ion isIntracellular fluidMain points ofcation98% of potassium in the body exists in cells.Both myocardium and neuromuscle need relatively constant potassium ion concentration to maintain normalIrritability。Serum potassiumWhen it is too high, there isinhibition, can make the heartbeatDiastoleStop. Low serum potassium can excite the heart muscle and make the heart beatSystolestop it.The effect of blood potassium on neuromuscular function is opposite to that of myocardium.Normally,Daily dietThe potassium content in is enough to meet the needs of the body, and will not appearPotassium deficiency。After potassium is absorbed by the intestine, about 30% of potassium is absorbed byRenal excretionThe kidney has no limit on the excretion of potassium. Even if the body is in a state of potassium deficiency, the kidney continues to excrete potassium.
2. Abnormal potassium distribution, such as low potassiumSexual cycleDuring the attack of paralysis, serum potassium decreased to 2.5 mmol/L, but it was normal during the interval between attacks.[2]
Functions in plants
K+yesplant cellIt is one of the most abundant cations inphysiological function。The increase of potassium fertilizer in soil can significantly affect the growth of trees and increase K in plant tissues+Content, the influence coefficient on growth is 0709, the overall impact coefficient on the tree body is 056。
K+Can promote cellsEndoenzymeActivity.There are more than 50 enzymes in the cell or they are completely dependent on K+, or subject to K+Activation of, such asPyruvate kinase, glutamine synthetase, 62 phosphofructose kinase, etc+Activate.
K+The activation of enzyme is the same as other univalent cationsInducible enzymeconformationThe enzyme can be activated to improvecatalytic reactionRate of, in some cases K+It can increase the affinity of enzyme to substrate, K+It also activates membrane bound ATPase, K+May be involved in tRNA andribosomeSeveral steps in the binding process are involved in protein synthesis.
K+The distribution of different concentrations inside and outside the cell is an important reason for the formation of cell transmembrane potential.As the most abundant cation in plant cells, K+It is the main cation to balance the negative charge, so it can be used for anion (such as NOthree-, malic acid root, etc.) are also very important.
K+It can regulate many physiological functions of plants, such as enhancingPlant photosynthesis, EnhancedplantSynthesis and transport of substances in the body, improvingenergy metabolismEtc.In non halophytes, K+It plays an important role in cell osmotic regulation, such as stomataGuard cellK in+The accompanying anion concentration change is caused byStomatal movementMain reasons for
Potassium application is beneficial to plantPhenolsMaterial metabolismThe activity of related enzymes is kept at a high level, increasing the content of phenols and reducing the occurrence of some diseases, which can promoteCarbon metabolism, improve plant tissuesugar content。
Research shows that potassium is beneficial to improving the quality of wheatFructan、sucrose、fructoseandglucoseThe accumulation during the filling period promoted the degradation of fructan and the output of sucrose, fructose and glucose at the late filling stage.
Potassium pairsweet cornAnd sugar content of sugarcane stalks have a greater impact. Within a certain range of potassium content, the sugar content of stalks increases with the increase of potassium application, while excessive potassium application will reduce the sugar content of stalks, leading toGlucose metabolism disorder。
Li et al. found thatNitrogen, phosphorus and potassiumIt can increase the accumulation of sucrose in flag leaves and starch in wheat grains. N and K nutrition can increase sugar content in flag leaves.
N. P, K nutrition can increase sucrose in flag leafsynthetaseActivity, N, P, K nutrition increased sugar andstarch content And K nutrition has the most obvious effect. P nutrition increases the accumulation of polysaccharide, and K nutrition improves the polysaccharide colloid of wheat grains[2]

Agriculture
Potassium ion is an important agricultural fertilizer, which can be used as potassium fertilizer. Not only that, but also as a component of human bodyA large number of elements。It is an important component of the human body.It is an essential element for most organisms.[2]
