      Ok well if you think about it you make food rot too – well what I mean by that is that you break food down and get energy from it. When bacteria rot food they are doing the same thing – they are secreting enzymes, similar to the ones that you have inside you which break down the food and allow them to make energy

      Does that answer your Qu?
