Question

State the differences between:
Decay and putrefaction

Answer 1

Decomposition or decaying is the process by which the organic material is broken down into simpler forms of matter. The process is essential for recycling the finite matter that occupies physical space into biome. Bodies of organisms decompose shortly after their death,

Putrefaction is one stage in the decomposition of the body of a dead animal. It can also be described as the decomposition of proteins which results in the eventual breakdown of cohesion between tissues.
