Their resemblance is only a fact that the ratio of Nitrogen and Phosphorus remains constant on earth. The phosphorus and nitrogen cycle both are utilized by organisms, and in order to get the required nutrients from the atmosphere.

Why is the phosphorus cycle slower than the nitrogen cycle?
It occurs more slowly because phosphorus rarely occurs as a gas.
What is the only biogeochemical cycle which does not pass through the atmosphere?
Phosphorus. "Unlike many other biogeochemical cycles, the atmosphere does not play a significant role in the movement of phosphorus, because phosphorus and phosphorus-based compounds are usually solids at the typical ranges of temperature and pressure found on Earth." - However, phosphorus WILL cycle through organisms and water. Water does (evaporation and precipitation both include the atmosphere). Carbon does (carbon dioxide is the third most common substance in the atmosphere). Nitrogen does (nitrogen makes up most of the atmosphere; Nitrogen-fixers depend on this fact).
Names of family members for phosphorus?
Phosphorus is in the Nitrogen family which includes: Nitrogen Phosphorus Arsenic Antimony Bismuth
What are four examples of bio geochemical cycles?
1. Biological Processes2. Geological Processes3. Chemical and Physical Processes4. Human ActivityThe biological processes like respiration, the geological processes like volcanic eruptions. Also there are the chemical/physical processes like rain, and lastly the human processes like the burning of fossil fuels.
What are Cyclic compounds that contain a nitrogen atom called?
The cycle containing Nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen or phosphorus are known as Hetero-cyclic compounds, only for nitrogen you may say 'Azo cyclic compounds'
What is the difference between nitrogen cycle and phosphorus cycle?
Nitrogen cycle is made up of nitrogen gas so when nitrogen gas and oxide compress they make a nitrogen cycle. With the phosphorus cycle it doesn't compress gas it just goes to gas to oxide making phosphorus cycle.
What is different about the phosphorus cycle as compared to the water carbon and nitrogen cycle?
The atmosphere is not involved in the phosphorus cycle.
What is different about the phosphorus cycle as compared to the water-carbon nitrogen cycle?
The atmosphere is not involved in the phosphorus cycle.

What is the different about the phosphorus cycle as compared to the water carbon and nitrogen cycles?
The atmosphere is not involved in the phosphorus cycle.
What is the difference about the phosphorus cycle as compared to the water carbon and nitrogen cycles?
The atmosphere is not involved in the phosphorus cycle.
What is one way the phosphorus cycle is different from the carbon nitrogen and water cycle.?
Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
What is one way the phosphorus cycle is different from the carbon nitrogen and water cycle?
Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
What are 4 biogeochemical cycles in nature?
The Water, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon Cycle...
What are the three nutrient cycles that play especially prominent roles?
The three nutrients cycle that plays a big part in our ecosystem are carbon cycles, nitrogen cycles and phosphorus cycles. These three are essential to sustain life and balance in our ecosystem.
