What is the effect of moisture and warm temperature on decomposition?
Moisture and warm temperature speed decomposition. This is a form of abiotic decomposition as it employs a chemical or physical process without the involvement of micro-organisms.
What is the environmental factors that affects the speed of decomposition?
Temperature and moisture.
What are the factors affecting organic matter decomposition?
TEMPERATURE MOISTURE AIR
What conditions favour decomposition?
Oxygen, Heat, moisture, all the core things a living thing needs, since microbes carry out decomposition.
Does garbage decompose better when it is moist or dry?
Organic decomposition always progresses better with adequate moisture.
Does moisture affect the growth of mold on food?
The mold requires moisture to grow so the more moisture the more mold.
Do decomposition reactions require energy?
False. It requires heat - Lowering the temperature ie. refrigeration slows decomposition - freezing say in liquid nitrogen will virtually halt decomposition completely.
Active transport systems are a form of cell transport that requires energy from molecules of?
The product of ATP decomposition...
Why doesn't waste decompose in antarctica?
The process of decomposition requires heat and humidity. Antarctica is the coldest continent on earth with a humidity average of about five percent. These facts combine to preserve waste and prevent its decomposition.
Why don't unsalted crackers spoil?
Crackers are dry. Spoilage requires moisture.
Why does mold form on wet things?
because mold requires moisture to survive
What conditions encourage rusting?
