Phosphorous

Phosphorus is very important for life because it makes up important structures in animals, supporting and allowing life.

In the biogeochemical cycle, during the immobilization process, inorganic phosphorus is converted into organic phosphorus and can be absorbed by living cells in the soil.

Therefore, the name of the process that converts inorganic phosphorus into organic phosphorus is immobilization.
