Organic compounds can break down spontaneously in the presence of oxygen, heat, light, or water. These conditions can initiate chemical reactions that lead to the decomposition of organic molecules.
Radiocarbon dating is used for frozen fossils because it can accurately determine the age of organic materials up to about 50,000 years old. This method relies on the decay of carbon-14 isotopes in organic materials, which stops when an organism dies. By measuring the remaining carbon-14 levels in a fossil, scientists can calculate its age even if it is frozen.
Yes, exactly.
Two main microbes involved in decay are bacteria and fungi. Bacteria break down organic matter by releasing enzymes that break down complex molecules into simple compounds. Fungi, such as molds and yeast, also play a significant role in decomposing organic material by secreting enzymes to break down organic matter.
The bacterium secretes enzymes that break down organic structures.
Because frozen objects are hard to break Type your answer here...
Yes it will. It will become more brittle and actually break easier than a pencil which is not frozen.
if its cold enough anything can break
No, you might be able to break if it's frozen, but I doubt it :)
The water in the cell(s) would freeze and expand causing it to break because there would be no more room to hold the frozen water.
Type of pipe, how hard it is frozen and for how long all make a difference. The colder and longer it is frozen, the more likely it is to break. Steel will take the longest, then copper and PVC will break the quickest. A hard freeze into the teens or lower and for longer than a day the odds are pretty good there will be a break somewhere.
Yes i think that frozen hair can break. We are going to test it for a mythbusters thing. I am not 100 percent sure tho. I hope this helped you!
Frozen soil preserves organisms by slowing down the rate of decomposition and microbial activity, which helps to maintain the integrity of the organisms' cells and DNA. The cold temperatures also inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi that would otherwise break down the organic matter. This preservation process can help scientists study ancient organisms and ecosystems that have been frozen for long periods.
because the ice expands once it is frozen your welcome, the wiz kid
Organic Activity.

no they will just be frozen and break...
