Question

Describe how phosphorus moves through the biotic and abiotic parts of an ecosystem

Answer 1

Phosphorus is a basic supplement for plants and creatures as particles PO43-and HPO42-. It is a piece of DNA-particles, of atoms that store vitality (ATP and ADP) and of fats of cell films. Phosphorus is likewise a building piece of specific parts of the human and creature body, for example, the bones and teeth.




Supplements travel through the biological system in biogeochemical cycles. A biogeochemical cycle is a circuit/pathway by which a concoction component travels through the biotic and the abiotic elements of a biological community. It is comprehensive of the biotic factors, or living beings, rocks, air, water, and chemicals.

Answer 2

Phosphorus moves through both the abiotic and biotic factors through the phosphorus cycle. The accumulation of phosphorus takes place in the rocks and sediments, which are abiotic. Phosphorus in the form of phosphate may be mediated via wind and water, which both are also abiotic.

Phosphorus gets absorbed by the plants, which are living and these plants further may get eaten up by other living species or may get die or decompose by the action of decomposers, which are also living. The phosphorus cycle comprises both abiotic and biotic elements that associate with phosphorus in its different forms, captivating it, storing it, and so on.
