RECYCLING LIFE
I. IntroductionA.
DefinitionB. Importance
Decomposing
The importance of decomposition
is the breaking of chemical bonds to release energy, inorganic molecules, and atoms into the environment.
stems from the recycling of material to sustain future generations of life.
C. Stages
1. Earlya.
LeechingDissolving of soluble molecules by water or other solvents.
b. FragmentingDon’t make this a hard
concept!
2. Latea.
MineralizationRelease of organically bound minerals into an inorganic form.
Do you help with this process?
