Consider the following statements:
| I: | The atmosphere only contains about 1% of total global carbon. |
| II: | Unlike the carbon cycle, there is no respiratory release of phosphorus into the atmosphere. |
| III: | Sulphur and phosphorus cycles are sedimentary cycles. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II, and III

Consider the two statements:
| I: | Phosphorus is much more important as a limiting nutrient in aquatic systems. |
| II: | Phosphorus is generally much less soluble than nitrogen, it is leached from the soil at a much slower rate than nitrogen. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I.
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I.
3. I is correct and II is incorrect.
4. Both I and II are correct.
