How does oxygen affect decay?
it doesnt
Does Oxygen speeds the process of decay in an organism?
False. A fossil cannot be formed with oxygen. There has to be no oxygen involved for petrification to occur.
What can happen to the carbon compounds in Organisms that die and decay in the absence of oxygen?
They turn into fossil fuels.
How can pollution affect the level of oxygen in water?
The concentration of oxygen in waters decreases.
How are nitrogen oxygen and argon formed?
Nitrogen and oxygen are formed primarily by thermonuclear fusion in stars. Argon is formed by radioactive decay of potassium - which is also formed in stars.
How does oxygen affect decay?
it doesnt
What would oxygen 17 be if it went through an alpha and beta decay?
Oxygen-17 is stable and does not decay.
How does eutrophication affect the aquatic animals in a pond?
As aquatic matter dies and settles in the pond, the microbes use up the oxygen as they decay.
How does canning slow down decay?
Decomposers need warmt, mositure and oxygen to decay food. Canning cuts out the element of oxygen- making it harder for foods to decay.
What things cause decay?
Oxygen and Moisture
What is the nuclear reaction for the alpha decay of oxygen-15?
Oxygen-15 does not decay by alpha decay. It decays by beta+ decay to Nitrogen-15, giving off a positron and an electron neutrino. 715O --> (beta+)--> (t1/2 = 122.24 seconds) --> 615N + e+ + ve
What does oxygen-21 decay into?
The only reference I could find was Beta minus decay into Fluorine 21
What is the product of nitogen-17 beta decay?
it goes to oxygen 16 95% of the time, oxygen 17 5% and carbon 13 (2.5x10-5)%%
What can speed up and slow down decay?
temperature; warmth speeds it up, cold slows it down. moisture; if it is moist it will decay quicker oxygen; if there is a good oxygen flow it should decay quicker. these all speed up decay because the bacteria and fungi that cause decay need these conditions to thrive and multiply
Does Oxygen speeds the process of decay in an organism?
False. A fossil cannot be formed with oxygen. There has to be no oxygen involved for petrification to occur.
Does Gamma decay change the atomic number?
Gamma decay don't affect the atomic number.
Does algae decay and consume oxygen when they die?
When Algae runs out of the proper nutrition it needs such as phosphates and other minerals it dies. Algae then dies and starts to decay during the decaying process Algae uses oxygen which is also why fish die from lack of oxygen. So to answer this question yes Algae does decay and consume oxygen.
