The process of protein synthesis involves two steps such as transcription and translation. In the process of transcription the encoded information in the DNA is transcripts or encoded into messenger RNA or mRNA inside the nucleus. This mRNA then comes out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In the process of translation the mRNA molecule attach with the ribosomes and tRNA molecules to synthesise the protein.
Both cycle occur within the atmosphere but the difference that they have is at the rate with which they occur. Phosphorus cycle is one of the slowest form of matter cycles that occur on earth as compared to the carbon cycle.
