Choose the correct statement regarding phosphorus cycle.

Atmospheric input of phosphorus by rainfall is much less.

Phosphorus cycle is a type of sedimentary cycle. No respiratory release of phosphorus occurs. Atmospheric input of phosphorus by rainfall is much less. The other two major and important differences between carbon and phosphorus cycle are firstly, atmospheric inputs of phosphorus through rainfall are much smaller than carbon inputs, and, secondly, gaseous exchanges of phosphorus between organism and environment are negligible .

Herbivores and other animals acquire this through plants.
