phosphorous

listen to the pronunciation of phosphorous
Englisch - Englisch
Of relating to or containing trivalent phosphorus
Of or pertaining to phosphorus
Resembling phosphorus
{a} denoting an acid, formed by a combination of phospherus and oxygene
An essential plant nutrient, and often the one that limits the growth of aquatic plants and algae
Of or pertaining to phosphorus; resembling or containing phosphorus; specifically, designating those compounds in which phosphorus has a lower valence as contrasted with phosphoric compounds; as, phosphorous acid, H3PO3
An element essential to the growth and development of plants; occurs in manure and chemical fertilizer and, in excess, can cause waters to become polluted by promoting excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants
Is classified as a mineral that plays an important role in almost every chemical reaction of an animal's system Its role in metabolism is to aid in the utilization of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats used for growth and maintenance Plays an important role in both skeletal and cardiovascular muscle contractions Initiates the proper functioning of the kidneys Phosphorous is a functional component found o nucleoproteins involved in cell divisions during reproduction Works in conjunction with calcium in maintaining healthy bones and teeth
{s} containing phosphorus (chemical element)
chemical involved in flowering, fruiting, root growth, and energy transfer throughout the plant Plants short in phosphorous will show stunted growth
Non metallic element An essential element for living organisms, found in the tissues (especially bones and teeth) and cells Present in fish feeds as a result of the inclusion of fish and other animal meals Excreted by fish as a result of more phosphorous being available in the feed than the fish requires In general 5-15g of phosphate are excreted per kg of dry diets fed to fish Phosphorous is often the limiting nutrient in relation to algal blooms and plant growth, an excessive amount released into the environment from a fish farm can therefore increase the plant growth in a water course It is because of this that the release of phosphorous (or phosphates which are salts of phosphorous) from farms are usually one of the items regulated by the environment agencies
A non-metallic element, symbol P, atomic number 15, atomic weight 30 98
containing or characteristic of phosphorus; "phosphoric acid
(P) Phosphorus is the eleventh-most abundant mineral in the earth's crust and does not exist in a gaseous state It is an essential nutrient for all life forms Phosphorus plays a role in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the basic building block of life Phosphorus is required for these necessary components of life to occur Phosphorus in freshwater and marine systems exists in either a particulate phase (found in sediment plumes) or a dissolved phase (mixed in with the sea water)
One of the essential elements of plant nutrition, identified by the chemical symbol P It encourages root development and also ripening of fruit and seeds
One of the nine macronutrients It is a component of nucleic acid (genetic material), of ADP and ATP (which are vehicles of energy transfer in and amongst cells), and of several coenzymes (which activate biochemical processes) It is responsible for root development, as well as flower and fruit formation Phosphorus deficiencies are difficult to identify, but you may see a reddening or general darkening of the foliage Chicken manure is phosphorus rich, more so than other manures Liming will also increase phosphorus levels in most soils
containing or characteristic of phosphorus; "phosphoric acid"
a plant nutrient that can cause an overabundance of bacteria and algae when high amounts are present, leading to a depletion of oxygen and fish kills High levels of phosphorous in water are usually caused by agricultural runoff or improperly operating wastewater treatment plants
phosphorous acid
a yellowish hygroscopic solid, H3PO3; a mild reducing agent
phosphorous acid
A white or yellowish hygroscopic crystalline solid, H, used as a reducing agent and to produce phosphite salts
phosphorous acid
a clear or yellow-colored monobasic acid (H3PO2)
