Answer:

The first answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary function of calcium in plant growth is to provide structural support to cell walls. Calcium also serves as a secondary messenger when plants are physically or biochemically stressed–which is why it always smell different after you cut your lawn! It's actually a signal of danger to all other surrounding plants.
