Environmental conditions affect decomposition. A body that is exposed to air will decompose more quickly and exhibit more insect activity. A buried body will decompose eight times slower than a body exposed to air. This is due in part to limited insect activity and possibly lower temperatures. Likewise a body submerged in water decomposes at half the rate of an exposed body. The rate of decomposition depends on the temperature of the water. Cold water slows decomposition and warm water causes faster decomposition. The body is also shielded from insect activity as long as it is submerged.

∙ 8y agoWater affects the decomposition of plants because water allows more decomposers to grow. This is because decomposers like moist areas. And also subscribe to FaZeApex(ME) for funny videos about Call of Duty trickshotting

∙ 12y agoLight does actually affect the rate of decomposition of food products, however I do not have any knowledge on air affecting decomposition. Light makes the decomposition faster for organic foods but inorganic foods have no affect.

What does light affect in photosynthesis?
It's what the plant uses to make food
What happens in a can of spoiled food as gas is produced?
A chemical reaction of food decomposition occured.
Does the climate effect decomposition?
Hypothermia slows bacterial growth and reproduction. Since bacteria are generally the prime agents of decomposition, hypothermia tends to slow the process. This is why we refrigerate our food.
What are biotic factors about a monkey?
Temperature, Environment, and Food products
What is the name given to the process that bacteria living amongst dead leaves and food scraps use to make nutrients available to plants again?
I think you'd call that "organic decomposition".
How do air affect the decomposition of food?
If there is a lot of air it will not rot very fast than a small air space.
How does mushrooms get their own food?
Decomposition
How can financial resources affect a person's diet?
Financial resources can affect diet, as having a low income can affect the budget. Families with low income may only be able to afford cheap food products, where as families with high income can afford to buy high quality food products. Cheap food products contain high amounts of fat and sugar can have an affect on a persons health and lifestyle. The majority of people with high income, who are able to afford higher quality food products have good health and a healthy lifestyle.
Does light affect food?
Yes, light is one of the things that causes food to spoil faster. This is true of both natural light and artificial light. This process is called photodegradation.
What does kosher food affect?
Kosher food itself doesn't affect anything other than increasing the customer base for companies that choose to get kosher certification for their products.
What is that word for food turning into compost?

What does light affect in photosynthesis?
It's what the plant uses to make food
How does light affect the rate at which food spoils?
Yes, light makes food spoil faster. Energy causes decay and deterioration. Light is a form of energy,and the more energy exposed to the food, the more quickly food will spoil.
When food decays what is the process called?
The process of decomposition
The disassembly of food inside an organism is called?
Decomposition
Why does food rout?
Food spoils and rots because it is stored poorly. Light, warmth and air can affect the quality of a food item.
What happens in a can of spoiled food as gas is produced?
A chemical reaction of food decomposition occured.
