The scientific term for when things are broken down by the environment is "biodegradation." This process involves the breakdown of organic materials by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and other living organisms, ultimately returning the materials to their basic components.
In a word, no.
A yellow solid that always has the same properties and cannot be broken down is most likely an element. Elements are made up of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Examples of yellow elements include sulfur and gold.
All types of rocks can be broken down into soil through the process of weathering and erosion. However, softer rocks like limestone, sandstone, and shale tend to break down more easily into soil compared to harder rocks like granite and basalt.
Sugar is comprised of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms which can be broken down into these elements through chemical reactions. Enzymes in the body can break down sugar molecules into simpler forms like glucose and fructose for energy production.
Yes, copper chloride can be broken down into simpler compounds by various chemical reactions. For example, heating copper chloride can decompose it into copper and chlorine gas. Alternatively, electrolysis of a copper chloride solution can also break it down into its constituent elements.
They aren't. Minerals get broken down into things like iron or calcium and things like that.
The scientific term for decomposition is "biodegradation", which is the process by which organic substances are broken down into simpler compounds by microorganisms.
No. An element is an element. It makes up other things, but cannot be broken down.
Sewage
hydrogen and oxygen
The smallest particle that can ever be found, it cannot be broken down in to anything smaller
Glucose is broken down to generate ATP.
It means that the substance is easily broken down by living things in the environment.
No. Biodegradation is when something is broken down by living things (like bacteria). Stones can be broken down into smaller stones by weather, and minerals and salts can be leached out of them by water, but stones are not biodegradable.
it is broken down into monomers
A simple carbohydrate are things that are broken down and digested easily; white bread or potato
Yes, elements can be broken down.
