DNA photolyase
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.
The frequency range of visible light.
No, x-rays are not visible light.
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
The (not surprising) name is "visible light."

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 :)
activated by ultraviolet light
One difference between visible and non-visible light is that visible light can be seen by the human eye, while non-visible light, such as ultraviolet or infrared light, cannot be seen without special equipment.
activated by light
The answer is visible light. Visible light is light that can be seen with a naked eye
No, ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye. It has a shorter wavelength than visible light, which makes it invisible.
Yes. visible light is in the electromagnetic spectrum.
exactly what you said its called visible light.
The frequency range of visible light.
No, x-rays are not visible light.
In the given scenario, light is visible.
