Chemistry
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

Yes, it does.

Explanation:

In the microbial process, the waste works as a fuel for the microorganism, it uses its fuel to produce its energy like the animals use glucose as fuel. So, the reaction is an aerobic respiration process, the fuel reacts with oxygen gas to produce energy, carbonic gas, and water.

Thus,

C+ O2 --> CO2 + H2O + energy

The oxygen is a good oxidizer agent, it means that in a redox reaction it intends to reduce (gain electrons) meanwhile the other reactant intends to lose electrons, and so be oxidized. So, C is being oxidized in this process.

The element involved in the process of petrification, replacement, and  permineralization is silica, were petrification is the combination of 2 types of fossilization, replacement, and permineralization

Permineralization is a way of fossilization in which minerals ( like silica have deposited the fill the empty  pores of shells  or the  hard animal parts). Petrification is a process where the organic material is converted to stone by replacing the original material and the pores with minerals, and Replacement occurs when the original bones or shells dissolve away and is replaced by a different mineral, which occurs along with permineralization, the whole process is called petrification.
