Environmental conditions affect decomposition. A body that is exposed to air will decompose more quickly and exhibit more insect activity. A buried body will decompose eight times slower than a body exposed to air. This is due in part to limited insect activity and possibly lower temperatures. Likewise a body submerged in water decomposes at half the rate of an exposed body. The rate of decomposition depends on the temperature of the water. Cold water slows decomposition and warm water causes faster decomposition. The body is also shielded from insect activity as long as it is submerged.

What happens in a can of spoiled food as gas is produced?
A chemical reaction of food decomposition occured.
A substance that delays decomposition is called an what?
A substance that delays decomposition is called a preservative. Preservatives are used to extend the shelf life of various products by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that cause decay.
What is an edible decomposition reaction?
An edible decomposition reaction is a chemical process where complex molecules in food break down into simpler substances, often due to heat or enzymes. This can change the texture, flavor, and nutritional profile of the food. Examples include caramelization of sugar or browning of meat during cooking.

How does light affect the rate at which food spoils?
Yes, light makes food spoil faster. Energy causes decay and deterioration. Light is a form of energy,and the more energy exposed to the food, the more quickly food will spoil.
What is that word for food turning into compost?
Decomposition is food turning into compost.
Why does food rout?
Food spoils and rots because it is stored poorly. Light, warmth and air can affect the quality of a food item.
How does the presence of carbon in compost affect the decomposition process?
Carbon in compost provides a food source for microorganisms that break down organic matter. This helps speed up the decomposition process by providing energy for the organisms involved in breaking down the materials in the compost pile.
Why do different light intensities affect plant growth?
Because plants use light as their food, the more light, the more they'll grow.
