Explanation
As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
After you die and your body decays, it is called decomposition. Decomposition is the process by which organic matter breaks down into simpler substances.
Fungi are the primary organisms responsible for breaking down dead trees through decomposition. They release enzymes to break down the wood, which results in chemical changes to the tree as it decays. Insects and bacteria also play a role in the decomposition process.
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
Explanation
Decomposition - when the organism dies and decays
Decay is a natural process where microorganisms break down organic matter. During decay, enzymes released by these microorganisms break down the complex molecules in the organism into simpler compounds, releasing nutrients back into the environment. This process helps recycle nutrients and plays a vital role in ecosystem functioning.
Carbon-14 decays by beta-, which emits a W- boson that immediately decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
When a positive pion decays, it produces a muon and a neutrino.
dead
After the internal organs have been removed the body decays
Waste that decays is called biodegradable waste. Dead plant material that has decayed (as in compost) is called humus.
As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
