Sunlight is electromagnetic energy. It's like a radio wave, only higher frequency. And a number of different energies are present in sunlight. The higher energies are the ones above the violet end of the spectrum - the ultra-violet (UV) energies. UV light can cause some changes in biochemical substances, and some of these are harmful to living organisms. But the energies present in UV light aren't outright "killers" of bacteria. They can affect the chemistry of a bacteria and kill some of them, but can't really shred the life out of all of them.

Exposure to sunlight implies exposure to fresh air too, and the oxygen in the atmosphere will kill or at least slow the multiplication of some bacteria.

Why cant bacteria break down agarose?
Agarose is a complex polysaccharide that has a structure that bacteria lack the necessary enzymes to break down. Bacteria typically lack the specific enzymes required to degrade the agarose molecule effectively.
What happens to bacteria at 100 degrees?
most bacteria thrive in heat, multiply faster. But at very high temperature, they stop growing. Some bacteria have the ability to survive at temp of more than 100 degrees Celsius. They are known as extremophiles
Why cant deep water ecosystems rely on photosynthesis?
Deep water ecosystems cannot rely on photosynthesis because sunlight cannot penetrate to the depths where these ecosystems are located. Without adequate sunlight, plants and algae cannot carry out photosynthesis to produce energy, causing these ecosystems to rely on alternative energy sources such as chemosynthesis or detritus.
Why cant a typical small green plant from kingdom Plantae survive in a cool dark empty cave?
The small green plant from kingdom Plantae requires sunlight for photosynthesis to produce food. Without sunlight, the plant cannot generate energy, leading to its eventual death. Additionally, the cool temperature and lack of nutrients in the cave would further hinder the plant's ability to survive.
Which is easier to cure viruses or bacteria?
Bacteria are generally easier to cure compared to viruses because antibiotics can effectively target bacterial infections. Viruses, on the other hand, are harder to target with medication because they rely on host cells to replicate. Antiviral medications are available but may have limited effectiveness.
Why chloroplasts is absent from the onion bulb?
It is not exposed to sunlight.Photosynthesis cant be performed without sunlight.
Why cant you use antibiotics to kill virus but bacteria can be killed by antibiotics?
Because bacteria and viruses are two completely different things. Antibiotics - as their name implies - will kill bacteria, but antibiotics simply have no effect on viruses.
What type of microbes do antibiotic kill?
they have something special which kills them but recently it has been discovered that a few types of microbes cant be killed with antibiotics !!!!!!!
What are the differences between viruses and bacteria?
Bacteria: Bacteria can be killed by antibiotics. Bacteria is larger. Bacteria can reproduce from the life cycle. Viruses: Viruses cant be killed by antibiotics. Viruses are smaller than bacteria. Viruses cant reproduce without help from a host cell or organism.
Why does earthworms move a from sunlight?
worms dont like the light because if they stay exposed for too long in the sunlight or any light,they become paralyzed and cant move for an hour.this is true and i looked and reshearched it
What is a good method to sterilize food?
boiling the food will kill bacteria but the spore cant survive.If you want to sterilize foods a presure cocking can work fine.15 after that the water has boiled all bacteria and viruses also spores will be killed.
Can bacteria live on silver?
No sir it cant
Why cant virgins get killed in horror movies?
There is no 'rule' about who can get killed in a horror movie.
