Cells can break down due to various conditions, including lack of oxygen (hypoxia), nutrient deprivation, and exposure to toxins or pathogens. Physical stress, such as extreme temperature changes or mechanical injury, can also lead to cell damage. Additionally, genetic mutations and aging processes can impair cellular functions, resulting in breakdown. Overall, these factors disrupt homeostasis and lead to cell death through mechanisms like apoptosis or necrosis.

Cells break down fat, or lipolysis, primarily in response to low energy availability, such as during fasting, prolonged exercise, or caloric restriction. Hormones like epinephrine and glucagon signal adipose tissue to release stored fat. Additionally, conditions such as insulin resistance can promote fat breakdown, as the body seeks alternative energy sources when glucose uptake is impaired. Overall, a negative energy balance triggers the mobilization of fat reserves for energy.
Viruses do not cause decay because they are not capable of carrying out metabolic activities on their own. Decay is typically caused by bacteria and fungi that can break down organic matter. Viruses rely on infecting host cells to replicate and do not have the ability to break down complex organic material.

Weathering conditions such as wind, water, ice, and temperature fluctuations can cause erosion. These processes break down rocks and soil, making them more susceptible to being carried away by these agents.

Yes, the enzymes in pineapple and papaya as well as citrus break down dead skin cells. They also break down food that is inside your body.
