APPLICATION
Phosphorus is used in a variety of ways. Here is a list of a few.
Fertilizer is the most commonly applied use of phosphorus. These specific brands of fertilizers are crucial to specific productions of crops
A majority of these applicants are manmade but some are parts of the human body. For example, bones and teeth are mainly made up of calcium phosphate. Even though fertilizer is important in some cases, it is not as critical as the ATP in cells and sugar phosphate in DNA & RNA. Sugar phosphates make up the structure that holds the code to life itself. ATP is the way energy is transfered throughout cells in the body. Without this energy, oxygen cannot be transported throughout the body and allow major muscles (including your heart) to stop functioning.
