about 85% of phosphorus is found in our bones and teeth.
Red phosphorusis not stored under either water or oil. It is rather safe, although friction can convert it towhite phosphorus. Red phosphorus is used in some matches.It is white phosphorus that is the real nasty one. That is stored under water. White phosphorus ignites spontaneously in contact with air. That is the element used in some military munitions.
The majority of our body's phosphorus is stored in our bones and teeth. It plays a crucial role in bone mineralization and structure.
Phosphorus.
IN YOUR HEAD STUPID!!!
Calcium and Phosphorus
Phosphorus is stored in the body primarily as phosphate in bones and teeth. It is also stored in cells as part of molecules like ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Excess phosphorus is excreted by the kidneys.
because it is highly reactive in nature & hence is stored under water
Calcium and phosphorus are stored in the bones. See: http://www.besthealth.com/besthealth/bodyguide/reftext/html/skel_sys_fin.html
white phosphorus needs to be stored under water as it is poisonous n can ignite when in contact with air,in the same way red phosphorus is not so dangerous like white phosphorus and therefore is found in matchsticks.
Phosphorus.
Because phosphorus is very reactive non metal. It catches fire if exposed to air. To prevent the contact of phosphorus with atmospheric oxygen,it is stored in water. Whereas,sodium is very reactive. It reacts vigorously with oxygen and water. A lot of heat is generated in the reaction. It is, therefore,stored in kerosene
Phosphorus is trapped in phosphate that makes up phodphate rock and the sediments of ocean floors.
