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>

MariettaO [177]

Abstract shapes that suggest plant forms or human anatomy without explicitly resembling anything nameable and allude to these natural organic forms are called <u>Biomorphic</u>.

These shapes may look like leaves, flowers, clouds—things that grow, flow, and move. The term biomorphic means: life-form (bio=life and morph= form). Biomorphic shapes are often rounded and irregular, unlike most geometric shapes.

Biomorphic forms are those that represent natural forms often in an abstract way, relying on contour, patterns, and textures to draw a connection to nature. This can appear in architectural or structural form, or in smaller, more decorative applications.
