Question

The body of a victim is discovered in the woods during a week with unusually cold weather. What should a forensic scientist consider when estimating the rate of decomposition of the body tissues of the victim?

The temperature would not need to be considered.
The tissues decompose at a slower rate at lower temperatures.
The tissues decompose at a faster rate at lower temperatures.
The tissues would not decompose at all at a lower temperature.

Answer 1

The tissues decompose at a slower rate at lower temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is my best guess but I think answer is tissue decompose slower rate at low temperature. This is why we in medicine we store specimens at very low temperature so we can do research on it at a later time but they eventually go bad. Low temperature slow down enzymes and proteins thus breakdown is slower rate.
