When an atom absorbs ultraviolet energy and an electron is involved, the electron can move to a higher energy level or be ejected from the atom, leading to the atom becoming ionized or excited.
When an electron absorbs a photon, its energy increases because the photon transfers its energy to the electron. The photon ceases to exist as a discrete particle and its energy is absorbed by the electron, causing it to move to a higher energy level.
When an electron in an atom absorbs a specific "Quantum" of energy, it will jump to the next specific energy level in the atom. It'll then jump back down, and in so doing releasing light and giving off a signature light spectrum for an element.
During emission, an electron in an atom transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, releasing a photon in the process. In absorption, an electron absorbs a photon and transitions from a lower energy level to a higher energy level within the atom.
When a substance absorbs light, the photons of light transfer energy to the substance's atoms or molecules. This can lead to an increase in the internal energy of the substance, causing changes such as heating, chemical reactions, or transitions between energy levels. The absorbed light can also excite electrons to higher energy levels or create new electron-hole pairs in semiconductors.
When an electron jumps from one energy level to another, it either absorbs or emits energy in the form of a photon. This process is called an electron transition and is responsible for the emission or absorption of light in atoms. The difference in energy between the initial and final energy levels determines the wavelength of the emitted or absorbed light.
When oxygen absorbs UV, it breaks it down. That atom then reacts again with oxygen to form ozone.

jumps to the a higher orbital. This is only possible if the energy it absorbed is large enough to let it jump the gap. If the energy is not large enough for the electron to jump that gap, the electron is forbidden to absorb any of that energy.
When an electron moves up an energy level, it absorbs energy in the form of a photon. This causes the electron to jump to a higher energy level and become excited. The electron will eventually return to a lower energy level by emitting a photon of light.

When they die, your body absorbs it.
