Homework Help: Nitrogen Cycle

Posted by Amanda on Tuesday, July 6, 2010 at 6:47pm.

KK I know that the Nitrogen cycle is the way that nitrogen in nature is changed into many different forms that are used by living organisms, but I have to explain how the phosphorus cycle differs from that cycle, and I don't know about that. Is it possible for you to provide me with a simple explanation on how they both differ from each other?

The only difference I got is that it doesn't usually have a gas state.
