A) Atmospheric inputs of phosphorous through rainfall are much smaller than carbon inputs.
B) The reservoir pool for phosphorous cycle is earths crust whereas atmosphere is the reservoir pool for carbon cycle.
C) Gaseous exchanges of phosphorous between organism and environment are negligible.
D) During carbon cycle and phosphorous cycle, there is very little respiratory release of carbon and phosphorous respectively.
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
: Carbon cycle is an example of gaseous biogeochemical cycle in which major reservoir is atmosphere. Phosphorous cycle is a sedimentary cycle, in which major reservoir are the sediments of the earth. Both carbon and phosphorous are part of living organisms but only carbon is released by respiration in environment in form of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]gas.
