Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- Understanding the ways in which phosphorus metabolism is regulated in photosynthetic eukaryotes is critical for optimizing crop productivity and managing aquatic ecosystems in which phosphorus can be a major source of pollution.
- This causes osteoblasts to reabsorb bone so phosphorus metabolism is normalized.
- Thus at a total [Hb] of 3 g/dl in the blood, the phosphorus metabolism is slightly affected but the animal remained alive.
- Phosphorus metabolism is complex: 30% is rapidly eliminated from the body, 40% has 19-day biological half life, and the rest is reduced by radioactive decay.
- An evaluation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism is pending.
