What do cells damaged by ultraviolet radition result in?
It is suspected that this damage induces mutations that result in the development of malignant melanoma.
What does ultraviolet radiation from the sun do to the skin and cells?
UV radiation is harmful to skin. It causes skin cancer.
Why are sunbeds unhealthy?
It is like standing next to a star. Sunbeds expose you to ultraviolet radiation and this can ionise your cells and damage them as it passes through your body. This is potentially harmful if too many cells get damaged as they can become cancerous and cause a tumour which can kill you.
What is the difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound?
The difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound is how they react when inside the body. Ultraviolet radiation attacks the cells and destroys cells that are harmful to the body. Ultrasound is merely a viewing device. Ultrasound is used to detect abnormalities in the body.
How are skins cells damaged by exposure to ultra-violet radiation?
skin cancer :D
When exposed to ultraviolet light skin cells produces that?
Skin cells do not produce a hat - no matter what kind of radiation falls on them.
Can radiation cure certain disease?
Radiation can cure cancer through what is known as radiation therapy. This is a process where the cancerous cells and genes are damaged.
Melanoma is a skin cancer that occurs in the melanocyte cells of the body. What could be a cause of melanoma?
Ultraviolet radiation (part of sunlight).
How does radiation affect plants?
Just because it duz^ thanx bro helpfull answernow my answer! :DPrevents Seed Growth· Ultraviolet radiation affects plant growth and development in many ways. First, it gradually stops seed growth and sprouting, depended on the how much radiation is released. Soil can become compacted and lose the nutrients needed for plants to grow. The results of various lab experiments supplying Ultraviolet radiation through filtered lamps proved that higher doses of radiation administered to the plants were very damaging.Disrupts Stomata Resistance· The stomata is a small air hole within a plant leaf that also controls water levels. If there is too much evaporation due to intense radiation, the stomata closes to reserve water. If the stomata is unable to open for a long period of time, the growth of the plant is stunted. Prolonged periods of radiation can completely damage the stomata and destroy the plant.Damages Plant Cells· The cells of living organism are also damaged and killed by Ultraviolet radiation. What allows plants to grow is the division and expansion of cells as they take up water. Cells contain chromosomes, the genetic material responsible for plant reproduction. If the cell is overly damaged by radiation, then reproduction is hindered.Increases Cell Mutations· Because ultraviolet radiation destroys cells, the chances of mutation are great. Affected plants are often small and weak with altered leaf patterns.Reduces Plant Fertility· Prolonged radiation can completely destroy the fertility of a plant. The plant gradually dies. The surroundings become poisoned and prevent the growth of future offspring.Not all radiation is bad. Sunshine is a type of radiation that is needed for photosynthesis and normal plant growth.
Which form of radiation can break a bond in some molecules?
Ultra violet radiation does this all the time to DNA molecules. Thymine dimers are the result of this radiation on epidermis cells.
Is radiation more harmful to normal cells than to cancerous cells?
Radiation can harm both normal and cancerous cells, but because cancerous cells are often more sensitive to radiation, they may be more likely to be damaged or killed by radiation therapy. Normal cells can repair themselves more effectively than cancerous cells, which helps protect them from the effects of radiation.
What is a 200nm ultraviolet photon?
A 200nm ultraviolet photon is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 200 nanometers. It falls within the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which has shorter wavelengths than visible light. Ultraviolet photons can have harmful effects on living organisms, such as damaging DNA in cells.
