Answer:

Air or atmosphere

Explanation:

Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants and animals. Phosphorus is a part of DNA, ATP and cell membrane. It is the building block of the bones and teeth in human and animal body.

Phosphorus is found on earth in water, soil and sediments and it is not found in the atmosphere in the gaseous state because it is usually liquid at normal temperatures and pressures.

Due to weathering, phosphorus is released from the rock as phosphate salts which are dissolve in soil water and are then absorbed by plants. Therefore, phosphorus is mainly cycling through water, soil and sediments via food chains.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

It is significantly easier to be infected with cutaneous anthrax as compared to other forms of anthrax.

Explanation:

LD50 is the lethal dose that can cause adverse effects and death. The LD50 of cutaneous anthrax is too low as compared to inhalation and gastrointestinal anthrax which means that only few Bacillus anthracis endospores can cause infection via cutaneous route while other routes require at least 200 times greater quantity to cause infection.
