1 Phosphorus Cycle

2 Phosphorus Cycle Cyclic movement of phosphorus in different chemical forms from the environment to organisms and then back to the environment Phosphorus NEVER enters the atmosphere! Very slow cycle

3 Why is it important? Used in bones, teeth, nucleic acids (DNA), phospholipids, and cell membranes

4 How do plants and animals get phosphorus?
Plants: obtain phosphorus from water and soil Animals: obtain phosphorus from eating plants or other animals

5 How does phosphorus get into the soil?
Erosion: wearing away of rock Weathering: chemical breakdown of rock due to precipitation

6 How does phosphorus get into the soil?
Waste Urine and feces Decay
