Solution

The correct answers are:

  • Phosphorus can lead to environmental pollution
  • Atmospheric phosphorus is hard for plants to capture
  • Phosphorus is a key nutrient
  • Most phosphorus in ecosystems comes from certain rocks and mineral sources that are in limited supply

Explanation:

Phosphorus is a key nutrient for plants and animals. It is a part of DNA, RNA, ATP, and also the phospholipids that form all cell membranes. However, it is not abundant and is hard for plants to capture from the atmosphere. Most of it comes from certain rocks and mineral sources that are in limited supply. When used in excess, especially in fertilizers, it can lead to environmental pollution, causing problems like eutrophication.
