Answer 1

Resposta:

Decomposition naturally happens (happen) almost everywhere even without making too much effort because nature generates compost as an element to the Earth's life and death cycle, but without the perfect mixture, and ingredients, the process slows down  and results in unpleasant compost. Bacteria perform exothermic actions as they help in the process of decomposition, so it helps the temperature to become higher than that of the environment where decomposition takes place, but a cold weather still slows down the progress. A hot temperature stimulates the microbes to grow even faster.

Explicação:

Bacteria - plural de ''bacterium''

Alguns dicionários trazem ''bacterium'' como singular e ''bacteria'' como plural. Outros, trazem ''bacteria'' como singular e ''bacterias'' como plural.

Eu considerei ''bacteria'' como plural, por isso o verbo não termina em ''s''

Decomposition naturally happens >>> it >>> verbo tem que terminar em ''s''

nature generates >>> it >>> verbo tem que terminar em ''s''

the process slows down and results >>> it >>> verbo tem que terminar em ''s''

they help >>> 3ª pessoa plural - verbo sem ''s''

it helps the temperature >>> it >>> verbo tem que terminar em ''s''

decomposition takes place >>> it >>> verbo tem que terminar em ''s''

a hot temperature stimulates >>> it >>> verbo tem que terminar em ''s''
