Answer:

Phosphorous cycle is a biochemical process it moves through three membranes such as lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.

Phosphorus is very important for living organisms like plants, animals, and humans. It is needed for the synthesis of nucleotides. Generally, the DNA molecule contains a phosphate ester bond.

The phosphorus cycle is a very slow process depending upon the weathering conditions.

Phosphorous cycle involved four main steps one is weathering, Absorption by plants, Absorption by animals and back to the environment through decomposition.

The most abundant source of phosphorus on the plants are rocks formed from the earth crust.
