Answer:
Hey here's your answer.
Explanation:
Biological function- The main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It plays an important role in how the body uses carbohydrates and fats. It is also needed for the body to make protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues.
Toxicity- Too much phosphate can be toxic. An excess of the mineral can cause diarrhoea, as well as a hardening of organs and soft tissue. High levels of phosphorus can affect your body's ability to effectively use other minerals, such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
