question # 6
multiple choice
days 4 - 10 of the decomposition process is called the _ stage.
o putrefaction
o butyric fermentation
o black putrefaction
o fresh

Explanation:

The decomposition process has different stages. The putrefaction stage occurs from days 4 - 10. In this stage, bacteria break down tissues, and there is a strong odor due to the release of gases like hydrogen sulfide. Butyric fermentation (days 10 - 20) has a cheesy smell. Black putrefaction (days 20 - 50) is when the body is dry and black - brown. The fresh stage is the initial phase (first 3 days) with no major decomposition odors yet.

Answer:

putrefaction
