One of the functions of phosphorus is in the formation of cell membranes.

from study unit:[Phosphorus is involved in the release of energy from fat, protein, and
carbohydrates during metabolism and in the formation of genetic
material, cell membranes, and many enzymes.

Phosphorus helps build strong bones and teeth.

Too much phosphorus creates a mineral imbalance. Poor intake may
contribute to bone loss in the elderly.

Fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, legumes, and nuts are reliable food
sources for phosphorus.]
