Definition von i., kim. potasyum im Türkisch Englisch wörterbuch

potassium

A soft, waxy, silvery reactive metal that is never found unbound in nature; an element (symbol K) with an atomic number of 19 and atomic weight of 39.0983. The symbol is derived from the Latin kalium

A Macronutrient essential to plants' development and growth Chemical symbol K

The chloride is used as a fertilizer and a raw material for producing other compounds, and the hydroxide for making liquid soaps and detergents and in preparing various salts. The iodide is added to table salt to protect against iodine deficiency. The nitrate is also called saltpetre, and the carbonate is called potash

Primary plant macronutrient, commonly found in soil solution as a monovalent cation Potassium is essentially involved in cellular water balance

A silver-white, soft, light, low-melting metallic element of the alkali metal group that occurs abundantly in nature One of three main fertilizers (with nitrogen and phosphorus) essential for plant growth

a light soft silver-white metallic element of the alkali metal group; oxidizes rapidly in air and reacts violently with water; is abundant in nature in combined forms occurring in sea water and in carnallite and kainite and sylvite

One of the nine macronutrients Potassium contributes to protein synthesis and the operation of the stomata Potassium aids in disease resistance, as well as seed and root development If a plant is potassium deficient, the plant will express an overall weakness, especially in its stem, while the leaf margin will yellow To correct potassium deficiencies in soil, apply soil amendments such as greensand, granite dust, or manure

What it's good for: Helps keep blood pressure down and aids muscle contractions, aids healthy electrical activity in the heart and rapid transmission of nerve impulses throughout the body Where you get it: Dried fruits, bananas, potatoes, most raw vegetables, citrus fruits, molasses, and sunflower seeds DRI or RDA: None

A mineral that serves as an electrolyte and is involved in the balance of fluid within the body Our bodies contain more than twice as much potassium as sodium (typically nine ounces versus four ounces) About 98 percent of total body potassium is inside our cells Potassium is the principal cation (positive ion) of the fluid within cells Potassium is important in controlling the activity of the heart, muscles, nervous system and just about every cell in the body Potassium regulates the water balance and acid-base balance in the blood and tissues Evidence is showing that potassium is also involved in bone calcification Potassium is a co-factor in many reactions, especially those involving energy production and muscle building

assists plants in forming starches and proteins and helps them resist disease and environmental stresses

chemical involved in regulation of protein synthesis and starch production in plants Plants short in potassium may show stunted growth, weak stems and root systems, and/or spotted and curled leaves

Atomic weight 39

Potassium is the principal cation (positively charged ion) in intracellular fluid and is of primary importance in its maintenance Proper balance of potassium, calcium and magnesium ions are essential for the normal function of muscles

in the form of one of its salts and

It is a soft, silvery white metal, not found free in nature and rarely used as the metal (except as a chemical reagent) because of its extreme reactivity. Potassium is essential for life and is present in all soils. Potassium ions (K^+) and sodium ions act at cell membranes in electrochemical impulse transmission and in transport. Potassium in compounds has valence

An alkali metal that forms various salts with halogens and other metals It is an essential nutrient, and among other uses, it is used in electrical impulses in the nervous system It is abundant naturally, and is generally not considered toxic

Potassium is an electrolyte found primarily inside cells Its role is to maintain water balance inside the cells and help in the transmission of nerve impulses Low or high levels in the blood are of critical significance Low levels may be found in patients taking water pills or in patients not receiving enough potassium A low potassium level can cause muscle weakness and heart problems A high potassium level can be found in kidney disease or in overuse of potassium supplements Some "salt" substitutes contain potassium instead of sodium Excessive use of these substitutes can cause dangerously high levels of potassium in the blood Any value outside the specified reference range, high or low, requires medical evaluation This is especially important if you are taking diuretic or heart medication [Hemolysis comment applies**]

An ion that at high concentrations inhibits certain enzymes in the mash

Symbol K (Kalium)
