Question

identify the cycle described. this nutrient is cycled between living things and the soil. plants absorb this nutrient n it into organic compounds through assimilation. animals eats the plants and pass the food chain from one organism to another. when the animal dies, it decomposes ent back to the soil. the nutrient can also enter the soil through weathering and
carbon cycle
nitrogen cycle
phosphorus cycle
plants take in this nutrient when they perform photosynthesis. an animal eats the plant and uses its carbohydrates for energy. the animal releases the nutrient back into the atmosphere during respiration.
bacteria in the soil converts this nutrient into a usable form. plant take up the usable nutrient through the soil and assimilate it into proteins, making it part of the plant. an animal eats the plants, and the nutrient becomes part of the animal. when the animal dies, it decomposes, returning the nutrient back to the soil.
done

Explanation:

First Dropdown:

The nutrient cycles between living things and soil, with weathering involved. The Phosphorus cycle involves soil, assimilation, and weathering (phosphorus is in rocks, weathering releases it to soil).

Plants take in the nutrient during photosynthesis (CO₂ for carbon), animals release it via respiration (CO₂). This matches the Carbon cycle (CO₂ in atmosphere, used in photosynthesis, released in respiration).

Bacteria in soil convert the nutrient (nitrogen) to a usable form (nitrification), plants assimilate it into proteins, animals eat plants, and decomposition returns it. This is the Nitrogen cycle (involves soil bacteria, assimilation into proteins).

Answer:

Phosphorus cycle
