You are a molecule of phosphorus. Choose a starting point in the process you would go through to move through the entire cycle.
noname [10]

Answer:

First I'd be found in rocks. Erosion would wash me into the soil. Then I'd be absorbed by plants, fungi or microorganisms so they can grow. Animals would get me by eating the plants or drinking the water that eroded the rock. The plants and animals die and I'm absorbed back into the soil.

Explanation:

Phosphorus Cycle Steps

The phosphorus cycle is a slow process, which involves five key steps.

Weathering

Since the main source of phosphorus is found in rocks, the first step of the phosphorus cycle involves the extraction of phosphorus from the rocks by weathering. Weather events, such as rain and other sources of erosion, result in phosphorus being washed into the soil.

Absorption by Plants and Animals

Once in the soil, plants, fungi, and microorganisms are able to absorb phosphorus and grow. In addition, phosphorus can also be washed into the local water systems. Plants can also directly absorb phosphorus from the water and grow. In addition to plants, animals also obtain phosphorus from drinking water and eating plants.

Return to the Environment via Decomposition

When plants and animals die, decomposition results in the return of phosphorus back to the environment via the water or soil.  

Plants and animals in these environments can then use this phosphorus, and step 2 of the cycle is repeated.

Human Impact on the Phosphorus Cycle

Humans have had a significant impact on the phosphorus cycle due to a variety of human activities, such as the use of fertilizer, the distribution of food products, and artificial eutrophication. Fertilizers containing phosphorus add to the phosphorus levels in the soil and are particularly detrimental when such products are washed into local aquatic ecosystems. When phosphorus is added to waters at a rate typically achieved by natural processes, it is referred to as natural eutrophication. A natural supply of phosphorus over time provides nutrients to the water and serves to increase the productivity of that particular ecosystem. However, when foods are shipped from farms to cities, the substantial levels of Phosphorus that is drained into the water systems is called artificial or anthropogenic eutrophication. When levels of phosphorus are too high, the overabundance of plant nutrients serves to drive the excessive growth of algae. However, these algae die or form algae blooms, which are toxic to the plants and animals in the ecosystem. Thus, human activities serve to harm aquatic ecosystems, whenever excess amounts of phosphorus are leached into the water.

Mnenie [13.5K]
The rest are incorrect:Bath salts can produce anxiety, agitation, hallucinations, and paranoia even in low doses, not just when used at high doses.Bath salts cannot cause a rapid drop in blood pressure and heart rate, instead it causes rapid increase when ingested, snorted, or injected.Bath salts are not synthetic drugs like mdma (methylenedioxy-methamphetamine).

Through what process do cells become specialized so they can perform specific functions within organisms? A. mitosis B. fertiliz
finlep [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. differentiation.

Explanation:

Cell differentiation is a process via which generic embryonic cells are transformed into specialized cells through a process of gene expression. Certain signals from inside and outside our body initiates gene expression.

Cell differentiation occurs at various stages of development, which causes the size and the shape of the cell to change dramatically.

Importance of cell differentiation:

  • Plays vital role in embryonic development
  • Helps in developing organisms throughout their life

Explain how the random alignment of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I
borishaifa [10]

The randomness in the alignment of recombined chromosomes at the metaphase plate, coupled with the crossing over events between nonsister chromatids, are responsible for much of the genetic variation in the offspring. To clarify this further, remember that the homologous chromosomes of a sexually reproducing organism are originally inherited as two separate sets, one from each parent. Using humans as an example, one set of 23 chromosomes is present in the egg donated by the mother. The father provides the other set of 23 chromosomes in the sperm that fertilizes the egg. Every cell of the multicellular offspring has copies of the original two sets of homologous chromosomes. In prophase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes form the tetrads. In metaphase I, these pairs line up at the midway point between the two poles of the cell to form the metaphase plate. Because there is an equal chance that a microtubule fiber will encounter a maternally or paternally inherited chromosome, the arrangement of the tetrads at the metaphase plate is random. Thus, any maternally inherited chromosome may face either pole. Likewise, any paternally inherited chromosome may also face either pole. The orientation of each tetrad is independent of the orientation of the other 22 tetrads.
