Bacterias and some fungi do not decompose living organisms because the immune system of living organisms do not allow bacterias to decompose them. The immune system of living organisms fight against these bacterias. In the case the immune system of the living organism dying, the bacterias can easily harm them.

∙ 13y agoDNA contains instructions that tell the living body how to work/live/reproduce for cells & as a species/process food & sunlight for energy/etc. DNA is a complex helix structure made up of many molecules/compounds or something like that. The inanimate elements/objects/gases, liquids, substances/etc are made up of single atoms or combinations of different atoms, etc.
