Certain factors do help food decay faster. Generally, it is natural environments. When food is packed tightly in landfills, it does not decay at a regular pace. When exposed to air, bacteria, sunlight, and water, however, the food particles will begin to break down faster. Also, animals or insects will come and eat the food away, too.

What will happen to a drop of food coloring when added to a cup of heated water?
The food coloring will spread throughout the water and become homogeneous faster than it would in cold or warm water. The food coloring would also mix evenly with the water faster if you stirred the water after adding the food coloring. This happens because the molecules are moving faster when they are heated up stirred.

The enzyme in saliva is amylase.A catalyst make a reaction happen faster.
What would happen if decay didn't happen?
Dead bodies, plants, etc. would build up in piles.Plants would run out of the organic nutrients that they need and can't make with photosynthesis and then die.When enough plants died the animals that ate them would starve. They would then die.When enough prey animals died the predator animals that ate them would starve. They would then die.Everything living would then die.But this is impossible as the decomposers (e.g. bacteria, fungi) that cause decay of dead things are only eating their "food" too. The more dead things lying around the more "food" they have and they would flourish.
What will happen if there is no food for dolphins?
