There are two main processes of decomposition with biological organisms, those being Aerobic and Anaerobic. Aerobic occurs in the presence of the element Oxygen. The Latin prefix "An" means "not", so anaerobic occurs when there is no oxygen present.
Aerobic processes are generally faster, since oxygen is an accelerant, or more specifically, it causes decomposition to occur more rapidly than if it were not present. Oxygen is generally considered neither a fuel not a catalyst, though it can be the latter in specific instances (see: Oxygen oxygen).
Since a vacuum has a distinct lack of Oxygen, the process would become anaerobic as soon as the internal oxygen within the object (body, piece of cheese, tomato, et al) ran out.
Additionally, the vacuum adds other considerations. The item under examination would also desiccate (or dry out) as the volatiles, such as water, moved to the vacuum. Lacking both water and elemental oxygen, virtually all biological processes would cease.
It could last forever, with no significant deterioration, if the vacuum were maintained, so not only would decomposition be slower, it would completely cease.

Does radiation move faster through a gas than a solid or liquid?
Radiation moves at the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second). In a solid or liquid medium, the speed of radiation is slightly slower due to interactions with the medium's atoms or molecules. In a gas, radiation can travel faster compared to a solid or liquid but still slower than in a vacuum due to lower interaction with gas particles.
Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?
No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.
Does light travel faster in glass than in a vacuum?
No, light travels slower in glass compared to a vacuum because the speed of light is affected by the medium through which it travels. In glass, light slows down due to interactions with the molecules in the material, leading to a reduction in its speed compared to a vacuum.
Why does light travel faster in empty spaces?
Light travels faster (up to the speed of light) in a vacuum, which is empty space. Light travels slower through a medium (matter).
Light travels faster in?
Light travels faster in a vacuum than in any other medium, such as air or water. Its speed in a vacuum is approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).
Does light travel faster in glass then it does in a vacuum?
No, slower.
Does light travel faster underwater than in air?

How can you race the speed of light?
What do you mean, make it faster? In a vacuum, light travels at only one speed. There is no way to make it faster or slower. In other materials, light is usually slower. There are instances where it is actually measured to be faster, but it is generally believed that this can't be used to transfer matter, energy, or information, faster than the speed of light.
Where are radio waves faster-earth or space?
Radio waves travel with the highest speed in vacuum, and slightly slower in air. So they move slightly faster in space than on earth.
Is mach 20 faster than light If not how much slower?
No, Mach 20 is not faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum, while Mach 20 is roughly 7.35 kilometers per second. Therefore, Mach 20 is significantly slower than the speed of light.
What is the maximum velocity of light?
The speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 kilometers per second (or 300 million meters per second). In a vacuum, light can ONLY move at that speed - neither faster, nor slower.
Does light get faster when it moves?
No, the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and does not change as it moves. According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, the speed of light is the same for all observers regardless of their relative motion.
Does microwaves travel faster than ultraviolet?
Yes, microwaves travel slower than ultraviolet light in a vacuum. This is because microwaves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than ultraviolet light, leading to a slower travel speed.
Does radiation move faster through a gas than a solid or liquid?
Radiation moves at the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second). In a solid or liquid medium, the speed of radiation is slightly slower due to interactions with the medium's atoms or molecules. In a gas, radiation can travel faster compared to a solid or liquid but still slower than in a vacuum due to lower interaction with gas particles.
Light travels more slowly trhough glass materials?
Yes, that is correct. (Slower than in a vacuum.)
Is the speed of light slower in air or in a vacuum?
Speed of light is max. in vaccum and slower in air.
Can a vacuum leak be the only problem if the transmission is idling too high?
Well, a transmission itself does not idle...the engine does. A vacuum leak in the engine will cause faster idling or slower idling depending on where the leak is. Newer transmissions do not use vacuum at all for their operation. Older vehicles used vacuum to help with the shifting of gears-automatic transmissions.
