How does freezing prevent from decay?
Decay is caused by insects and microscopic organisms breaking organic matter down as a part of their feeding process. When it is too cold for these things to function, then they can't cause decay.
Do things decay?
Yes, many things decay and decompose.
What are prokaryotic cells that cause disease and decay?
Bacteria are prokaryotic cells that cause disease and decay.
Do teeth break cause cancer?
No tooth decay is not a sign of cancer. Various other things can be signs of cancer. Tooth decay is natural process that can be sped up by several factors. For example, drinking soda helps sped up tooth decay.
What are the characteristic of rubber tire or other things that not decay?
Things that don't decay (or that don't decay quickly) are difficult to digest, for bacteria.
How does tar preserve organisms?
It seals off bacteria, air, and many other things that can cause organisms to decay. If the organism doesn't decay, it remains for... well, forever. As long as it doesn't leave the tar, however! :)
What causes nuclear decay?
The instability of the nuclei is the basic cause of radioactive decay.
Do microbes always cause things to decay?
No, not all microbes cause decay. While some microbes break down organic matter leading to decay, others play roles in fermentation, digestion, and other essential processes without causing decay. Microbes have diverse functions and can be beneficial in certain environments and applications.
Can medications cause tooth decay?
Medications do not typically 'cause' dental decay, however, some medications can cause a decrease in salivary production. Saliva is important in neutralizing acids that cause decay. Therefore, some medications can contribute to the incidence of tooth decay.
Can antibiotics effect teeth decay?
no it doesn't cause decay in adults
Can high fructose corn syrup cause tooth decay?
Yes. Anything with sugar in it (fructose is a kind of sugar) can cause tooth decay.
Alpha decay and beta decay are two forms of radioactive decay that cause .?
Transmutation, which is the change of atoms from one element to another.
