How does the DNA repair enzyme photolyase prevent skin cancer?

Photolyase is a DNA repair enzyme that helps prevent skin cancer by repairing UV-induced DNA damage, specifically cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). It utilizes energy from visible light to activate and catalyze the repair process, effectively reversing the harmful effects of UV radiation. By maintaining the integrity of the DNA and preventing mutations, photolyase plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of skin cancer associated with UV exposure.


Does the Calvin cycle occur only in the dark?

It cannot occur in the dark. It contains an enzyme called rubisco which is a light-activated enzyme. Also the Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy produced in the light reactions, and the light reactions need sunlight energy in order to produce the energy needed in the Calvin cycle. Hope that helps :)
