What is the phosphorus cycle?
Answers
The Phosphorus Cycle. The phosphorus cycle is the movement of phosphorus from the rocks where it's found into the environment and, finally, into the plants and animals that need it.
The phosphorus cycle. Phosphorus moves in a cycle through rocks, water, soil and sediments and organisms. Over time, rain and weathering cause rocks to release phosphate ions and other minerals. This inorganic phosphate is then distributed in soils and water
We know that the main source of phosphorus are rocks. In soil it is produced by weathering of the phosphorus containing rock.
Then plants absorb this phosphrous from the soil and then transfer this phosphate to animals and after the death of animals it is released again into the lithosphere by the action of decomposers.
Actually in protoplasm, plasma membrane, bones and teeth phosphorus is the maine constitute. But is all those break in future then sometime then this phosphorus is again made presence to the sea plant also for sea weeds. It can be also pass in the fish & sea birds also.
