Affects on decomposers

Question 1

How do cold temperatures affect decomposition?

Answer 1

Decomposition process is very slow due to cold temperatures

Question 2

How do warm temperatures affect decomposition?

Answer 2

Warm temperatures speed up the decomposition process and it happens faster.

Question 3

Why is heat, water and oxygen needed for decomposers?

Answer 3

Warm temperatures are needed for decay as decomposers will move and respire more in heat.

Water is needed as decomposers need moisture to survive.

Oxygen is needed for decomposers to respire aerobically to break down organic material.
