bedrock contains smaller rocks, when water reaches the rock, they break down and give minerals to the soil
osteoclasts, because they break down bone.
The presence of water is the factor with the greatest influence on the weathering rate of Earth's surface bedrock. Water can seep into cracks in the bedrock, freeze, expand, and cause physical weathering. It also participates in chemical weathering processes that break down the minerals in the bedrock.
Bedrock can turn into soil through a process called weathering. Weathering occurs when natural forces such as water, wind, and temperature changes break down the bedrock into smaller particles over time. As these particles continue to break down, they mix with organic matter and other materials, eventually forming soil.
The action of the root splitting the bedrock is an example of physical weathering. This process occurs when physical forces, such as plant roots growing into cracks in rocks, cause the rock to break down into smaller pieces without changing its chemical composition. Over time, these physical processes can break down rocks into soil particles.
Residual soil develops directly from the underlying bedrock through weathering processes. The characteristics of the bedrock, such as mineral composition and structure, influence the properties of the residual soil that forms above it. Over time, physical and chemical weathering break down the bedrock to produce a soil that retains some similarities to the parent material.

they break down larger molecules If a cell organisation is disturbed , lysosomes break down and digest.
Bedrock can be weathered through physical processes such as freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion from wind and water, and biological activities like plant root growth. Chemical weathering can also occur, where rock minerals are broken down by reactions with water, oxygen, or acids. Over time, these processes can break down bedrock into smaller particles and contribute to the formation of soil.
Bedrock tends to weather faster than soil because it is composed of hard, solid rock that is exposed to the elements, such as wind, water, and temperature changes. These forces can slowly break down the bedrock through processes like erosion, cracking, and chemical weathering, eventually resulting in its disintegration.
BEDROCK
because it has lots of enzymes that help to break down those large proteins into amino acids!
