What gas is responsible for absorbing the uv rays?
The gas that absorbs UV rays is ozone. This is present as ozone layer in the atmosphere.
Why does cytochrome c absorb uv and visible light?
DNA absorbs UV light because of the aromatic rings of purines and pirimidines in its structure. DNA absorbs UV light because of the aromatic rings of purines and pirimidines in its structure.
How much of the ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?
It is likely that ozone only absorbs a tiny percentage of the UV-C incident on Earth's atmosphere. Likely the majority of UV-C is absorbed by nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere, and that in the lower stratosphere (where ozone is produced).
What is the chemical in the atmosphere that is responsible for absorbing ultraviolet light from the Sun?
Ozone is the chemical that absorbs UV light. It is present in the stratosphere.
What is the uv radiation that absorbs oxygen compound?
If your question was 'What is the oxygen compound that absorbs UV radiation?' - then ozone
What happen to a molecule when it absorbs uv light?
When it absorbs UV light, it decomposes. It also replenishes it.
Why DNA absorbs uv light at 260nm?
Because of the nitrogenous bases that absorbs light maximally at 260nm wavelenght
What part of DNA absorbs uv light?
In suntan lotion it is avobenzone and/or octyl methoxycinnamate. Many organic molecules (natural and man-made polymers) absorb UV. DNA absorbs UV-B (which can cause damage) - as can the cornea of the eye! The cornea also absorbs UV-A but seems to not suffer much with it. Much of the sun's UV-A, UV_B and UV_C radiation is absorbed by the Ozone Layer when it enters the atmosphere.
What gas is responsible for absorbing the uv rays?
The gas that absorbs UV rays is ozone. This is present as ozone layer in the atmosphere.
Why does cytochrome c absorb uv and visible light?
DNA absorbs UV light because of the aromatic rings of purines and pirimidines in its structure. DNA absorbs UV light because of the aromatic rings of purines and pirimidines in its structure.
What in the stratosphere absorbs much of harmful UV Wavelengths of light?
The ozone layer.
What color are UV rays?
Colour only applies to visible light. UV rays are not visible.

What is the chemical in the atmosphere that is responsible for absorbing ultraviolet light from the Sun?
Ozone is the chemical that absorbs UV light. It is present in the stratosphere.
How does the fluorescent light bulb work?
ionized mercury vapor emits UV light.phosphor coating on inside of tube absorbs UV light and emits visible light.visible leaves tube.
What is the uv radiation that absorbs oxygen compound?
If your question was 'What is the oxygen compound that absorbs UV radiation?' - then ozone
How does the atmospheric ozone layer protect Earth?
It absorbs harmful UV light which can cause skin cancer.
