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.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizing prokaryotes

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory or symbiogenesis is an evolutionary theory that traces the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms. It explains that some of the organelles (Mitochondria and Chloroplasts) in eukaryotic cells evolved from free-living prokaryotic microbes which were ingested or engulfed. The ingested prokaryotic cells survived within the organism and developed a symbiotic relationship.

According to the theory, chloroplasts was formed when eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizing prokaryotes and mitochondria was formed when bacteria capable of aerobic respiration were engulfed.
