Ultraviolet can damage skin cells and lead to skin cancer and damage the eyes, it can cause skin to age prematurely; X-rays damage cells inside the body. They cause dangerous ionisation and when this happens with molecules in living cells, the genetic material of a cell, the DNA is damaged.

Answer:

<em>UV rays are highly injurious to living organisms since </em><em>DNA</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>proteins</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>living</em><em> </em><em>organisms</em><em> </em><em>preferentially</em><em> </em><em>absorb</em><em> </em><em>U.V</em><em> </em><em>rays</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>it's high</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>breaks</em><em> </em><em>chemical</em><em> </em><em>bonds</em><em>. UV rays damage DNA and mutation may occur. It causes ageing of the skin, damage to skin cells and various types of skin cancers.</em>

Why does your body need to break down starch into glucose ?
valina [46]

Starch can't be used by the organism the way it is, because cells aren't able to do anything with it.

If you break it into glucose though, it becomes usable.


Hope it helped,
