Vedclass · Answer

(D) The phosphorus cycle is a sedimentary cycle,meaning its primary reservoir is the Earth's crust (rocks). Unlike the carbon cycle,where carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through respiration,phosphorus does not have a significant gaseous phase in its cycle. Therefore,phosphorus is not released into the atmosphere during respiration. Statement $D$ is incorrect because atmospheric inputs of phosphorus through rainfall are actually very small compared to carbon inputs,as phosphorus does not circulate through the atmosphere in significant amounts.
