Phosphorous

An essential element on the periodic table is phosphorous necessary for all life on Earth. The backbone of nucleic acids, RNA, and DNA molecules contains phosphate ions, which means that without sufficient phosphorous a cell cannot divide.

Phosphorus moves in a phosphorus cycle through rocks, water, soil and sediments, and organisms. Over time, rain and weathering cause rocks to release phosphate ions and other minerals.
