Nitrates are used by plants to make amino acids and proteins. Most of the phosphorus cycle takes place at ground level. Phosphate is released by the slow breakdown of rocks. What two main biological processes are responsible for the cycling of oxygen?
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) "cause iron in ocean water and terrestrial rocks to rust (oxidize)".
Explanation:
During ancient times, the reproduction success of plants and cyanobacterias led to the accumulation of oxygen gas in the atmosphere.

This phenomenon is the cause of banded iron formations, which formed in seawater and sank to the ocean bed.
