Can you grow marijuna with a black light?
Yes, if the black light only emits UV-A, and meets the requirement of intensity required by the plant. UV-B will damage the plant's DNA, and UV-C will make ozone also damaging the plant.
What cell type and cell product protect the skin from UV irradiation?
The cells in the dermis and epidermis called keratinocytes produce melanin in response to UV light in sunlight.
What was the effect of UV blocking on hatching success?
Hatching success increased when UV was blocked.
How do you block UV rays?
UV rays are blocked by the ozone. It is present in the ozone layer.
Is UV light the same as fluorescent light?
The UV light is different to that of fluorescent light. The UV originates from the sun. The latter one does not.No, it is not. UV is different.
Why ultraviolet light would be more likely than visible or infrared light to cause cancer by damaging DNA molecules?
UV rays can penetrate the cell membrane
What limited protection do cells have against the damaging effects of UV radiation?
Many factors determine a cell's limited protection against damaging effects of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation.The amount of time a cell is exposed is one eminent factor that blocks radiation from reaching cells. (Think: the plastic from sunglasses shields UV light from damaging the human eye.)Certain types of cells are more resistant to UV light that vegetative cells. DNA of endospores is protected by small, acid-soluble proteins that bind to DNA and alter its conformation, protecting it from photochemical damage. In addition, a unique spore photo-product is generated by UV light in endospores that functions in enzymatic repair of damaged DNA during endospore germination.
What prevents damaging amounts of UV?
The damaging amounts of UV are submitted from sun. These are prevented by the ozone layer.
Will UV light cause damage to human cells?
Yes, UV light can be very damaging tot the skin. It is one of the primary causes of skin cancer as well as wrinkles and age spots.
Can you grow marijuna with a black light?
Yes, if the black light only emits UV-A, and meets the requirement of intensity required by the plant. UV-B will damage the plant's DNA, and UV-C will make ozone also damaging the plant.
How can ultra violet light be blocked?
Sunblock is one way to block UV waves. It can also be blocked through filters such as the lenses that are used in sunglasses. To block the UV waves, you need to use something that absorbs the waves.
How do melanocytes protect skin cells from UV damage?
Melanocytes produces melanin, the skin pigment that absorbs UV light from the sun and prevents it from damaging DNA in the cells.
How do plants convert UV rays into food?
they don't convert UV into food, but they can convert visible light into food through photosynthesis. UV can be damaging to the plant and is one of the reasons they have a waxy cuticle covering the leaves
Why do asphalt shingles have granules?
To help protect the shingle and reflect the suns rays. The UV light is very damaging to the the shingle.
What cell type and cell product protect the skin from UV irradiation?
The cells in the dermis and epidermis called keratinocytes produce melanin in response to UV light in sunlight.
How is ultraviolet light more damaging to cells than infrared light would be?
UV is higher energy than IR and can therefor deposit more energy in cells.
Which rays are blocked by sunglasses?
UV, ultraviolet
