Justify the phosphorus cycle in an incomplete cycle

Explanation

PHOSPHORUS CYCLE : It is cyclic movement of phosphorus as a nutrient between the environment and living organisms. It is a sedimentary cycle. Its main reservoirs in nature are phosphate rocks, fossil bone deposits and guano deposits (hardened excreta of marine birds) from them, by weathering and volcanic eruptions. Phosphorus is released as inorganic phosphates into the soil and water. Much of these phosphates get washed into the sea where they are lost into deeper sedimentation. Only some phosphates of soil and water are absorbed through roots by green plants (producers) and are used to form the important components of protoplasın, celi membrane, ATP and nucleic acids. These are obtained by animals (consumers) as they feed on producers directly (herbivores) are indirectly (carnivores) through food chains. In animals phosphorus is essential for teeth and bone formation. Bacterial decomposition of dead bodies of producers and consumers return the phosphorus as phosphates to the cycle to be recycled through organisms. Since much of the soil phosphates are lost to sedimentation leaving only some to be cycled through the organisms, phosphorus cycle is a good example for imperfect biogeochemical cycle.
