Why did mummies decay?
all objects on earth whether living or non-living are subeject to the process of the detritus process where these things would be broken into basic components
What living thing decay?

Is leaves decay physical change or chemical change?
chemical change
Do microbes always cause things to decay?
No. The microbes in your gut help you to stay alive. The microbial cells in your body outnumber your own cells.
Why do viruses not cause decay?
Because they are obligate parasites
Do all living things decay when dead?
Yes
What things cause decay?
Oxygen and Moisture
How are substances use by living things returned to the non living things environment?
Through decay when living things die, and through their wastes.
What are the characteristics of metabollic process in non-living things?
Non living things don't have a metabolism. They decay naturally (or don't, depending on the material) through entropy, weathering, etc. Living things take in energy from an outside source to work against natural decay. When they die, it starts.
Why is energry required for living things?
Without the intake of energy, the default is that things decay (entropy). Living things, which are not closed systems, have to take in energy from outside sources in order to keep their molecules organised into a functional frame for life.Once living things die, then they cease to take in energy and things naturally decay or disorganise themselves.
How do Microorganisms allow carbon in dead leaves to be recycled?
dont know but couls sum one pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase help
What is rainfall that is below 5.6 on the pH scale called?
Rainwater with a pH below 5.6 is called acid rain, which is very harmful to the enviroment. It can cause buildings, statues and all other non-living things to decay over a period of time, and is extremely harmful or deadly to living things.
What type of fungus will cause fallen leaves to decay?
I don't think it will be a fungus. It's more likely that small creatures or bacteria will decompose the leaves. It will rot and eventually disintegrate into the soil. However, maybe this can also be caused by other plants that cause the leaves to rot.
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.

Can you get a disease From a human bite?
Yes, people do have microbes living in their mouths (particularly those which cause tooth decay) and those can cause a disease if they get into the blood by way of a bite.
