What does 'decay of biomass' mean?
The decay of biomass means that biomass which is wood or litter is slowly decaying meaning that it is falling to pieces and slowly rotting away.
Which is an important product of the decay of biomass?
legumes
How is the decay of biomass important in your lives?
because is vital
How is energy returned to the environment through the decay of biomass?
we in hail it
What actually decays in radioactive decay?
The nucleus of the atom decays, and in the process, the nucleus transforms into another element, or into an isotope or isomer of the same element. In radioactive decay, the nucleus always emits some kind of particle(s). It is the high-energy emission of these particles that we call radiation. There are many different types of radioactive decay:Alpha decay results in the emission of an alpha particle (two neutrons and two protons)Beta decay results in the emission of a beta particle (an electron or a positron)Neutron decay results in the emission of a neutronProton decay results in the emission of a protonGamma decay results in the emission of a gamma particle (a photon)Neutrino decay results in the emission of a neutrino or antineutrinoIn some cases, a combination of the above emissions takes place. For example in double beta decay, a single nucleus emits two electrons and two antineutrinos in the same event.
How energy transferred through the decay of biomass?
the heat radiantof the energy
How does the decay of biomass relate to a food chain your food web?
Because their food
What results in radioactive decay causes loss of one or more protons?
a new element is formed
What type of nuclear decay results in the atomic number decreasing by two and the mass decreasing by two?
Emission of an alpha particle.
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium becoming thorium?
Alpha decay
What are the elements of alpha decay?
Alpha particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons (equivalent to He nucleus). So the parent decaying by alpha decay results in a daughter having atomic number less by two and mass number less by four.
What speed up the decay of biomass?
Factors that can speed up the decay of biomass include moisture content, temperature, oxygen availability, and the presence of decomposers such as bacteria and fungi. These factors can increase the rate at which organic matter breaks down into simpler compounds, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem.
