How are the phosphates incorporated into the organic molecules in aquatic plants and animals?

Answer:

The main part of the phosphorus cycle is occurring between the soil, plants and animals. It is usually found in soil in the form of rocks, minerals and sediments.  

However, when rocks weather and dissolve, the phosphorus is released into the soil, from where it can be transferred to rivers, seas and oceans by the means of surface runoffs. This is suggested to be the main mean of phosphorus entering the ocean.

Once in the ocean, phosphorus, which is highly toxic in elementary state, reacts with water giving phosphates, which get incorporated into algae and plankton or ocean plants (from the phosphates in the ocean ground). In their organisms, phisohates become part of complex compounds essential for life. Since these organisms are in the bottom of the food chain, they serve as food for larger ocean animals (shells, crabs, various fish) thus being transferred and incorporated into their organisms.

Answer and explanation:

Phosphates are incorporated into the organic molecules in aquatic plants and animals by absorption and used in synthesis. A synthesis process itself is a selection of unit operations and their subsequent interconnections. Animals that eat plants with phosphate, once this is in their system, the phosphate get into their organic cells such as DNA.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

   Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation as a function of the wavelength or frequency of the radiation. Simply, spectroscopy is the study of color as generalized from visible light to all bands of the electromagnetic spectrum; historically, spectroscopy originated as the study of the wavelength dependence of the absorption by the gas phase matter of visible light dispersed by a prism.  Matter waves and acoustic waves can also be considered forms of radiative energy, recently gravitational waves have been associated with a spectral signature in the context of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory as well. Spectroscopy, primarily in the electromagnetic spectrum, is a fundamental exploratory tool in the fields of physics, chemistry, and astronomy, allowing the composition, physical structure and electronic structure of matter to be investigated at the atomic, molecular and macro scale, and over astronomical distances.    

    The spectrum is determined by measuring changes in the intensity or frequency of this energy.  The types of radiative energy studied include:  Electromagnetic radiation was the first source of energy used for spectroscopic studies.  Techniques that employ electromagnetic radiation are typically classified by the wavelength region of the spectrum and include microwave, terahertz, infrared, near-infrared, ultraviolet-visible, x-ray, and gamma spectroscopy.  Dynamic mechanical analysis can be employed to radiating energy, similar to acoustic waves, to solid materials. The types of spectroscopy also can be distinguished by the nature of the interaction between the energy and the material example:Absorption- when energy from the radiative source is absorbed by the material.  Elastic scattering and reflection spectroscopy determine how incident radiation is reflected or scattered by a material.  Crystallography employs the scattering of high energy radiation, to examine the arrangement of atoms in proteins and solid crystals. Coherent or resonance spectroscopy are techniques where the radiative energy couples two quantum states of the material in a coherent interaction that is sustained by a radiating field.   Spectroscopic studies are designed so that the radiant energy interacts with specific types of matter.
