THE PHOSPHORUS CYCLE for A Level Biology: The importance of mycorrhiza fungus too

[@BenjeYT]

This was so bloody helpful - cheers!

[@MissEstruchBiology]

I'm so glad it helped you!

[@dorotaromanestera]

Thank you! Even as an environmental science a level student, this is really helpful! Thank you so much 😁👍

[@thegreatcreator9527]

Very helpful video, Thank you

[@manavdivecha2097]

Is there a lot more to the Phosphorus Cycle that we don't learn at A-Level? It seems suspiciously simple compared to the Nitrogen Cycle!

[@MissEstruchBiology]

Hello, That may be a matter of what you find easier to remember, as they both include microbes and converting of molecules. Good to hear that you find it easy to grasp! Both cycles chemistry is more complex than you need for A-level Biology.

[@uwotm8770]

when you talk about excretion are you referring to animal faeces? so is guano just bird poo

[@MissEstruchBiology]

Excretion is covering all animals urine and faeces. Guano is specifically birds faeces that have accumulated over time. Hope that helps :)

Is symbiotic the same as mutualistic?

[@lydiasmart8500]

yep

[@MissEstruchBiology]

yes 😊

[@LeahBowden-qq5cv]

what is the difference between a symbiotic relationship and a mutualistic relationship?

[@MuhammadAnas-zw8fv]

same thing

[@MissEstruchBiology]

They are the same

is this AQA?

yes it is 😊

How can you not mention soil? This is a terrible omission Also bone. Moreover you do not distinguish between death and decay of animal tissue leaving P in bone, and it should be mentioned that human Excretion is 50% phospahte in urine and 50% in faeces

[@MissEstruchBiology]

Hello, Thanks for adding these extra details for viewers. For the level I am teaching to, those details are beyond the specification and not required, so to keep my videos concise I only include what's in the spec 😊

[@simonmasters3295]

Carbon is not on the spec Phosphate in rock not atmosphere Importance of Mychorhizal associations, defined. Water and minerals, drought resistant plants. "In return...carbon...benefit both ways = mutualism" Excretion at 60%, Guano, birds, "shells and bones"...oceans, rivers and soils, and rocks. Fertiliser on land - [ocean dead zones and effects on riverine habitats and downstream wetlands is huge and not mentioned. Silly Simon
