What do most fossils form in?
Most fossils form in Sedimentary Rock.
why wet food decay faster than dry food?
Bacteria (which make your food decay) need moisture to live and they thrive in it!
What are zombies habitat?
Zombies prefer heavily populated areas.. populated with the living anyway. They can survive in any area that has a supple food source, and if the conditions are not too harsh. They have problems with heavily frozen areas, and highly damp areas as it promotes rot and decay.
Is a decay snake poisonous?
Nope, they are not venomous.
How do microorganisms cause decay?
If you mean the ones in your mouth then this is your answer. Food gets caught between your teeth and the microorganisms feed on this. because they are so small the food passes through very quickly, undergoing a chemical change and becoming an acid. The acid then 'eats' at the teeth causing more chemical reactions causing the blackening and this is how we get the decay.
Can paper decay?
Yes, but the rate of decay depends on the conditions.
Why is there less decay in frosty conditions?
because there is no warmth and humidity in the air which is needed by microbes in the process of decay thats why less decay occurs in frosty conditions
Why does food spoil or rot when they are left out in the open?
Micro organisms and detritous feeders (e.g. worms) break down the food and aid decay. Decay occurs best in damp warm conditions, we can slow down decay by refrigerating or pickling.
Why does less decay happen in frosty conditions?
slows down the rate at which enzymes work or completely stops them preventing decay
What three conditions are needed for a plant material to decay?
moisture, warmth and oxygen
What is the best synonym for decay?
Rot
Is the best definition of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
What is the best definition of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
What can speed up and slow down decay?
temperature; warmth speeds it up, cold slows it down. moisture; if it is moist it will decay quicker oxygen; if there is a good oxygen flow it should decay quicker. these all speed up decay because the bacteria and fungi that cause decay need these conditions to thrive and multiply
Why do human bones not decay?
Human bones are made up of mineralized tissue that resists decomposition. This mineralization process occurs during bone formation and makes bones highly durable. Additionally, bones are often buried in environments that lack the necessary conditions for rapid decay, such as sufficient moisture and microbial activity.
Why does the iceman have to be kept at precise conditions?
So that he does not decay and he is kept preserved for further investigations and tests.
What conditions increase the speed of decay?
dacay means dieing right? if it dont my bad but here a guess the conditions are if they had to die to live so the wont die later :)))))
