the force responsible for radioactive beta decay
Matter and energy are constantly exchanged between the spheres through different processes. These processes are in the form of chemical reactions, radioactive decay, the radiation of energy, & the growth and decay of organisms.

the strong nuclear force is responsible for most of it, but the weak nuclear force contributes some in the decay of fission products.
The weak nuclear force is responsible for all particle decay. In a neutron, there are two down (d) and one up (u) quars with charges of -1/3 and +2/3, respectively. In a proton, there are two up and one down quark. The configuation looks like this: N: udd P: uud One of the down quarks in the neutron changes into an up quark (via the W- particle) and an electron. The neutron is now a proton.
Bacteria and other small organisms, such as insects are responsible for the decay of dead organisms.

Most of the times, it is the organism itself that decay... But think of the issue over in the Rockies right now... The beetles are decaying the trees... I don't remember the name, but that is one of them.
Decomposers eat the dead organisms. For example, worms and weeds, and sometimes scavengers like crows, vultures and ravens, eat dead organisms. EDIT: Bacteria

The term for an organism that causes decay is decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi. they chemically break down organic matter for food. the decay caused by the decomposers is part of a process that produces detritus, small pieces of dead and decaying plant/animal remains.
microscopic organisms are the major causes of decay.
Most organisms that die are quickly devoured by scavengers in the desert and do not have the opportunity to decay.
Lichens are plantlike organisms that decay to make acids:)
Decay, in itself, is a process.However, decay is caused by decomposing bacteria, which are micro-organisms.
Yes, decay is the process releasing energy by "burining" by living organisms.
