<span>This is due to much of the energy that is consumed by lower trophic levels of the food chain/food web being used at that lower level. This energy is stored or used and, therefore, unavailable to the organisms higher up in the chain. As the chain lengthens, less energy is available, usually as a factor of 10 (1/10 of the energy taken in by the level below the consumer is available to the consumer's level, for example).</span>

The food chain is a cycle of energy. The energy and biomass successively decrease along the food chain as animals from higher trophic levels consume the animals from lower trophic levels. As each animal consumes the other, only 10% is transferred to the next organism

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Atmosphere

Explanation:

Phosphorus cycle in nature is a unique cycle compared to the other natural biological and chemical cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and water cycles, as there is no gaseous phase in the phosphorous cycle. Due to the prevailing atmospheric temperature and pressure which are not appropriate for the formation of gases associated with phosphorus, the compounds in nature where phosphorus can be found are not gases. Phosphorus can therefore be found majorly in sedimentary rocks.
