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 the ozone is able to protect the earth from the harmful amounts of ultaviolet radiation?
Ozone in the Earth's stratosphere absorbs and scatters incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This absorption prevents most harmful UV-B and all UV-C radiation from reaching the Earth's surface, protecting life from the damaging effects of excessive UV exposure. Ozone acts as a shield that helps maintain a balance of UV radiation for life to thrive on Earth.

How does this realization impact to your life in screen the UV out?
UV-B radiation has been shown to be harmful to living organisms, damaging DNA, proteins, lipids and membranes.
Which are more energetic photons of UV A radiation or photons of UV B radiation?
Photons of UV B radiation are more energetic than photons of UV A radiation. UV B radiation has a shorter wavelength and higher energy compared to UV A radiation, making it more damaging to the skin and eyes.
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
Is the carbon dioxide layer also prevents the coming of the UV-rays from the sun?
No, carbon dioxide does not. it does not stop UV rays from the sun from coming to surface.
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
What does a hat do for you?
A hat blocks out the harmful UV Rays the sun produces. It prevents you from getting surburnt!
What is the thin layer of gas surrounding the earth and protecting it from the harmful uv rays from the sun?
The thin layer of gas surrounding the Earth is called the ozone layer. It absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can be damaging to living organisms if it reaches the surface in large amounts. The ozone layer is crucial for maintaining life on Earth by providing a shield against the harmful effects of UV radiation.
