Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which postmortem change can be accelerated by high environmental temperatures?
  • Step 1: Understand what postmortem changes are. These are changes that happen to a body after death.
  • Step 2: Identify one of the main postmortem changes, which is decomposition. This is when the body breaks down.
  • Step 3: Learn that decomposition is caused by bacteria and other microorganisms.
  • Step 4: Recognize that environmental factors, like temperature, can affect how fast decomposition happens.
  • Step 5: Realize that high environmental temperatures can speed up the growth of bacteria.
  • Step 6: Conclude that because bacteria grow faster in heat, decomposition also happens faster in high temperatures.
