What else can I help you with?
Can scorpions see in ultraviolet light?
No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.
Why do scorpions glow in the dark and what is the reason behind their unique ability to emit fluorescence under ultraviolet light?
Scorpions glow in the dark because of a substance in their exoskeleton that reacts to ultraviolet light, causing them to emit a blue-green fluorescence. This ability is thought to help them detect prey, communicate with other scorpions, and possibly protect themselves from predators.
What makes a scorpion glow under ultraviolet light, and how does its fluorescent nature benefit the scorpion in its environment?
Scorpions glow under ultraviolet light due to special proteins in their exoskeleton that react to the light. This fluorescence helps scorpions detect prey, navigate in the dark, and communicate with other scorpions. It also serves as a defense mechanism, as the glowing can startle predators or warn them of the scorpion's venomous nature.
Why do some scorpions glow?
In ultraviolet light, some types of scorpions glow blue. Their exoskeletons are reacting to a type of light that human eyes can't see. Scientists are not sure just why this happens to scorpions. One theory is that the glow warns them when parts of their body aren't properly hidden, and could give them away.
Which organism exhibits florescence under ultraviolet light?
Some organisms that exhibit fluorescence under ultraviolet light include corals, some types of fish, scorpions, and certain types of flowers. This phenomenon occurs due to the presence of certain fluorescent proteins or pigments in their tissues.
What does an ultraviolet telescope collect?
Ultraviolet light. That's why it's called so.
Which wavelength is longer ultraviolet or light?
The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
Riboflavin is destroyed by?
as i know its destroyed by ultraviolet light
An example of a carcinogen would be ultraviolet light or benzene?
ultraviolet light.
Does ultraviolet light attract mosquitoes?
No, ultraviolet light does not attract mosquitoes.
What is the opposite of ultraviolet light?
The opposite of ultraviolet light is infrared light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.
Can cats see ultraviolet light?
Yes, cats can see ultraviolet light.
