Solution
Nitrogen:
Nitrogen is required by all portions of a plant, including metabolically active cells and meristematic tissues in particular.
Nitrogen is very significant since it is a component of chlorophyll, the molecule that allows plants to use sunlight energy to produce carbohydrates from water and CO2 (photosynthesis).
It's also a key component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
