The Phosphorus Cycle

The Phosphorus Cycle

1. Rain helps to give Phosphates from rocks, to the Soil or Water and better the quality of the mineral and nutrients of this elements.

2. The Plants absorb these Phosphates and then when the Vertebrate Animals eat it through the Plants, they will be benefited with stronger teeth and bones.

3. When the animals die, they return the organic ions of phosphorus to nature, that they have absorbed, by decomposition but because of a bacteria it transforms into inorganic phosphorus for continuing the cycle through the environment.

4. The sediments of Phosphorus return to form another rock and the cycle continues.

5. The humans need Phosphorus to add to the Soil, for giving nutrients to the Plant and help it to grow up.

6. The excess of Phosphorus is toxic to the Plants and Animals in an ecosystem, but if we use the correct amount of Phosphorus, it will be really useful for the Plants and they will be great for Animals.

7. Humans, Animals and Plants need any mineral to survive and Phosphorus is one of the most important.

8. Agriculture provides much of the Phosphate found in waterways to major production of plants, the Phosphorus help to improve a wildlife habitat for all species .

9. Phosphorus is one of the most limiting elements in the ecological system and help to develop natural areas, we have to try to don't waste it.

10. Phosphorus is involved in energy transfer and in the passage of the genetic information in the DNA of every living being.
