Which kind of temperature will slow down an organism decay?
It will slow down an organism's decay in freezing temperatures.
Why can some fossils form in cold temeratures?
OhNo!Are You using a Interatcive Reader-Science 7th GRADE? WELL I DO TOO, that's why i need help :*(LIFE SCience) well i think its cause the coldness freezes the animals/artifact in rock and or ice The answer is on the top of page 128 Ice and cold temperatures slow down decay.
How do you keep isotopes from decaying?
A stable isotopes won't decay. But for radioisotopes, it's practically impossible, at least as far as our current knowledge goes. but we do have technology to slow or speed up the process of decay. it happen in the every nuclear reactors. usually through the manipulation of the freed neutrons.
Does oxygen speed up decay?
Oxygen speeds up the oxidation (essentially slow burning) of organic waste. However its main impact is to facilitate the aerobic bacteria which can decompose organics . It should be noted that oxygen can inhibit the Anaerobic bacteria which are significant causes of biological decay.
How radioactive are gamma rays?
They have a radiation weighting factor of 1. This is used in equivalent dose (H=DWr) As a use for comparison: - Alpha particles = 20 - Beta particles = 1 - Fast Neutrons = 10 - Slow Neutrons = 3
When was Slow Decay created?
Slow Decay was created in 2007.
Which kind of temperature will slow down an organism decay?
It will slow down an organism's decay in freezing temperatures.
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.
How could you slow decay of a monument?
A polymer coating may be useful.
Why does pickling help to slow down decay?
It is a form of preserving food.
How is the waste managed at high altitudes when decay is impossible due to extremely low temperatures?
Cynical answer is poorly - it just lies around until it washes downslope. And decay is not "impossible", its just slow ... very slow.
What type of standing water habitat in which the soil is acidic and decay is slow is called?
A Bog.
What Type of standing water habitat in which soils is acidic and decay is slow is called?
A Bog.
Does the rate of radioactive decay slow by extreme cooling?
No, radioactive decay isn't affected by anything - temperature or pressure because it isn't a chemical or physical reaction.
Food remains fresh for a longer time during winter Why?
cold temperatures slow decay
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
Why does food spoil or rot when they are left out in the open?
Micro organisms and detritous feeders (e.g. worms) break down the food and aid decay. Decay occurs best in damp warm conditions, we can slow down decay by refrigerating or pickling.
