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>

Answer:

It is possible for large molecules to join a cell by a method called endocytosis, where a small piece of the cell membrane surrounds the particle and is brought into the cell. If the particle is solid, endocytosis is also dubbed phagocytosis. If fluid droplets are taken in, the process is called pinocytosis.
