No.

Living things can only take part in chemical reactions using various forms of energy, and these only change the way chemical elements are bonded together, not the elements themselves.

Does plutonium change its element when melted if so to what?

No. Melting does not change one element into another.


What property must be change to change an element into another element?

to make one element a different element, all you need to do is have a different number of protons


What was one way that early microbes did not change Earth?

Early microbes did not significantly change Earth's atmosphere or climate because they did not produce enough oxygen as a byproduct of their metabolism to have a large-scale impact on the environment.

Oxygen combined with one other element is an oxide.


What kind of decay can change one element to another kind of element?

That would be radioactive decay.


Can one element change into a different element?

Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.


Can a material change from one substance to another during a chemical reaction?

"Substance" is too fuzzy a word. Chemical reactions can change materials into other compounds, for example shiny iron into rust (Fe2O3). But it cannot change an element into another element. A nuclear reaction can do that, for example uranium into plutonium.


If the number of protons in an atom changes a new element is formed?

The changing of one element into another, called transmutation, involves a change in the nucleus of the atom. And the number of protons in the nucleus must change for one element to become another one. It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom that determines what element that atom is, and only a change in the proton count will herald the change of one element into another. The neutron count may or may not change in transmutation, but be assured that the number of protons will change.


What is microbes and what is thermophilic and mesophilic microbes?

Microbes are organisms that are composed of only one solitary cell or a cell which lives in a colony with other cells. Thermophilic microbes are organisms that prefer to live in areas with a temperature that is higher than the normal.Mesophilic are these microbes that prefer areas with moderate temperature.


What is the only way to change one element into a different element?

Through nuclear reactions, such as nuclear fission or fusion, it is possible to change one element into a different element. This process involves altering the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, resulting in the creation of a new element with different atomic number and properties.


When microbes in close nutritional relationship and one benefits but the other is not harmed it is called what?

When microbes are in a close nutritional relationship where one benefits and the other is not harmed, it is called commensalism. In this type of symbiotic relationship, the benefiting organism receives nutrients or support, while the other organism remains unaffected. Commensalism is common in various ecosystems, including the human microbiome.
