Where is over 95% of incoming ultraviolent radiation absorbed

Biology
1 answer:
zheka24 [161]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Over 95% of incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed in :

A. The Stratosphere.

Explanation:

  • Stratosphere is the second layer of the earth's atmosphere that lies next to the troposphere.
  • This layer experiences very little turbulence of air and is very significant because of the presence of Ozone layer in it.
  • The UV rays entering the Earth's atmosphere, photo dissociates ozone into O₂ and O. But these molecules quickly recombine to form ozone.Thus, stabilizing the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere.
  • During this photo dissociation UV radiations loses much of its energy. Thus, 95% of incoming Ultraviolet radiation gets absorbed in the Stratosphere.
  • Absorption of ozone UV radiation increases exponentially with the thickness of ozone layer.

In the grass species Anthoxanthum odoratum, some of these plants live
Ray Of Light [21]

The species of <em>Anthoxanthum odoratum</em> is an example of parapatric species.

  • Speciation is a process in which a new species form from the existing species due to reproductive isolation.
  • In parapatric speciation there is no barrier between the gene flow between similar species.
  • In the parapatric speciation populations are adapted to different ecological conditions although the populations of the related species differ in terms of mutation, and due to the effect of drift.  
  • But they are connected by the random flow of genes between the neighboring organisms irrespective of the changes in their genetic and physiological form.
