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.

These are nucleotides that have a single ring structure. Example: Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The question is incomplete.

However, I notice that your question is mainly dealing with

"Nucleotides with a single ring structure"

I tackled that part, also providing explanation to the point you focused on.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are compounds in which nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines) are conjugated to the pentose sugars (ribose or deoxyribose) and at least one phosphate group. Thus a nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and at least one phosphate group.

Examples of the nitrogenous bases are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Uracil and Cytosine. Of all, Thymine, Uracil and Cytosine are with single ring, while Adenine and Guanine are double ring structure.
