hope it helps..

Answer 2

$\large{\underline{\rm{\red{Calcium:-}}}}$

→ It is absorbed from the soil as calcium ions.

→ It is required by meristematic and differentiating tissues.

→ During cell division, it is used in the synthesis of cell wall, particularly as calcium pectate in middle lamella.

→ It is also needed during the formation of mitotic spindle.

→ It accumulates in older leaves.

→ It is involved in the normal functioning of the cell membranes.

→ It activates certain enzymes and plays an important role in regulating metabolic activities.

$\large{\underline{\rm{\red{Phosphorus:-}}}}$

→ It is absorbed by the plants from soil in the form of phosphate ions.

→ It is a constituent of cell membranes, certain proteins, all nucleic acids and nucleotides.

→ It is required for all phosphorylation reactions.
