I mean, this isn't a joke- this is serious. I want to know what happens.. will it become petrol? (I asked in class what'll happen, teacher told well bury it and do the funeral. I searched I Google, but didn't get a sensible answer, (by sensible I mean the one you get first in bold, than any website). They said amoeba is immortal, that's it. I asked my parents they replied it will get divided very fast so that isn't the answer to my question.. I mean
The question is: I put an amoeba in vinegar, what'll happen to it? Does anyone know? Like when a human die, we'll become skeleton, after many years fossils, then petroleum. So what about amoeba?
We need microscope to see amoeba. I don't know about vinegar, but if we burn it, high possibility it will die.

an amoeba is too little thing to form a petroleum, so when it dies, most possibly it will dissolve to its primary elements such as proteins..
maybe these products can be used by adjacent cells maybe not.
Anyway in general, it wont form petroleum itself..
I had a question kind of close to this one:
Something dies, say, a mouse, its flesh become worms, and they eat all the flesh. what happens to the worms? (after say, a year)
So I guess flesh --> dead worm bodies that can't be consumed by anything anymore. (or more likely - dust. I think everything becomes either dust or water after a while)
a insect dies, little ants eat the flesh, and the bones just stay there.
A lemon - it doesn't 'just rot' - it becomes dust. I guess because the acid is too high for worms to be created.
The molecules will go back into the "pool" and will be used by other creatures. The way of life.
>Something dies, say, a mouse, its flesh become worms
Flesh doesn't become worms. Worms are everywhere. They find the dead mouse and eat it. Bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms will have a go at it too. Worms then go on to eat other stuff, procreate, maybe hibernate/estivate. They have their own life cycle.
>A lemon - it doesn't 'just rot'
It does rot, i.e., gets eaten by microorganisms, I'm guessing a variety of mold, fungi, microorganisms. These too are everywhere and have their own life cycle.

Christmas is coming, so ask your parents to get you a cheap microscope and do the experiment yourself ?
Amoeba is a microorganism and a unicellular organism so we won't find it's fossil anyways. Whats more is that it might give a rise to another organism. MY VIEW :)
Well, I've never seen it die.
