Sunlight is composed of three components:-

1. Visible light: which enables the objects to be visible. The objects absorb the rays and reflect the ones which give them color.

2. Ultra violet rays: These rays are the most harmful ones. Although they are absorbed by the ozone layer and very less amount is able to reach the Earth's surface. These are cancer causing rays.

3. Infra red rays: These are the rays which are responsible for maintaining the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. The maximum amount of sun's rays reaching the Earth are IR rays.

During starvation, the body starts breaking down proteins, including the large proteins in the plasma. This causes edema in tiss

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Starvation causes a reduction in the oncotic pressure in the cappilaries, thus causing edema in the tissues.

Explanation:

Starvation is the extreme form of malnutrition, in which the caloric energy intake of an individual is much lower than required. The cells of the body start the breakdown of proteins, after the fat stores get exhausted. This reduces the oncotic pressure or the colloidal pressure in the blood vessels or capillaries of the body, thereby causing edema.

Edema is a medical condition, which involves the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium and cavities of the body.
