Phosphorus Cycle
Rocks release phosphate ions overtime :
Rain and weathering
Inorganic phosphate
Released into soils and water
Plant(s) take the inorganic phosphate from the soil
There's a chance that an animal will eat the plant
It's included into organic molecules once it's in the plant or animal
When the animal or plant dies and decays, the organic phosphate is absorbed into the soil again
The organic form(s) of phosphate is available to plants once it's in the soil
It's available by bacteria that break down the organic matter into inorganic forms of phosphate
