Can windows with UV protection kill plants?

Not in my opinion, although I have not tried the experiment for myself!Plants use the energy from light to photosynthesize, and I do not believe the levels of radiation (UV) would affect this.However, if a window garden is what you're after, it might be wise to play it safe and not use the window with UV protection anyway.


How do UV rays contribute to the development of cancer?

UV rays can damage the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations that can cause cancer to develop. UV rays can also weaken the immune system's ability to fight off cancer cells.


Are UVA rays more prevalent than UVB rays in sunlight?

Yes, UVA rays are more prevalent than UVB rays in sunlight. UVB rays are more intense but make up a smaller portion of the UV radiation that reaches the Earth's surface.


Why is ozone important to living organisms?

Ozone shields living organisms from harmful ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun. Without the ozone layer, plants could not survive. Ozone depletion causes increased risks of skin cancer and cataracts in humans.


Can you tan using hot water?

No. Heat from the sun is not what causes tan it is the ultraviolet rays similar to the rays that cause skin cancer. The reason heat is asoociated with them is that usually when the sun is bright enough that the UV rays are causing a tan infrared rays are also causing you to feel hot. This is why a bright sun on a cool day is very dangerous. The UV rays are still reaching the skin but as they are undetectable and there is no heat warning the skin that the sun is bright you are more likely to allow yourself to stay in the sun too long and burn.No.

How uv rays affect vegetables?

UV rays can have both positive and negative impacts on vegetables. Moderate exposure to UV rays can increase the production of antioxidants in vegetables, which have health benefits for humans. However, excessive exposure to UV rays can damage the cells of vegetables, leading to reduced growth, changes in appearance, and decreased nutritional value.


Do plants need uv light to grow?

Plants do not require UV light to grow, as visible light is the main source of energy for photosynthesis. UV light can be harmful to plants if they are exposed to high levels for extended periods of time, as it can cause damage to their cells. Some plants have adaptations that allow them to tolerate or use small amounts of UV light for specific purposes, such as attracting pollinators.

Depletion of the ozone layer allow more UV-A rays to reach earth's surface causing damage to plants and animals. True or false?

False. Depletion of the ozone layer allows more harmful UV-B rays to reach Earth's surface, which can cause damage to plants and animals. UV-A rays are less harmful than UV-B rays and are not significantly affected by ozone depletion.
