| Definitions |
[Henderson's] n. the phosphate anion PO34– or a salt of phosphoric acid (e.g. potassium phosphate, K3PO4). Phosphates are essential to the metabolism of living organisms because inorganic phosphate is required for the synthesis of the energy-storage molecule ATP. Plants and microorganisms take up phosphorus mainly in the form of phosphates, and various phosphates are used as fertilizers. Excess phosphate washed into streams and lakes contributes to eutrophication and the formation of algal blooms. see also phosphorus cycle, phosphoryl group. |
