How does ultraviolet radiation harm living things?

Biology
1 answer:
Romashka [77]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Ultraviolet (UV) photons harm the DNA molecules of living organisms in different ways. In one common damage event, adjacent bases bond with each other, instead of across the “ladder.” This makes a bulge, and the distorted DNA molecule does not function properly.

A(n)\ is an area of the planet that shaves similar conditions of climate, fauna (animal life), flora (plant life) and geography
zheka24 [161]

Answer: A BIOME is an area of the planet that shaves similar conditions of climate, fauna (animal life), flora (plant life) and geography . The correct option is 1.

Explanation:

BIOME is defined as large natural terrestrial ecosystems which shares similar conditions of climate and consists of plants and animals that equally have common characteristics with their environment. The word terrestrial is used because plants form the bulk of the community in an ecosystem. The type of vegetation in a biome is largely determined by climatic factors, especially rainfall and temperature. Regions throughout the world which have similar climates have similar biomes. This causes zones of different biomes to occur from the equator to the Arctic and to the Antarctic. For example,

--> in equatorial and tropical areas where temperature is high all the year round tropical forests occur;

--> in temperate regions coniferous and deciduous forests occur;

--> while treeless plains (tundra) are found in the cold arctic regions.

Climates also changes with height above the sea level.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

ATP is the energy currency of the cell. ATP is used in the metabolic process of the body and used for the transportation of molecules. The ATP hydrolysis gives ADP and inorganic phosphate.

The highest energy form of the ATP is adenosine. The adenosine molecules contains three phosphate group. The ATP molecules acts as a fuel for the endergonic reactions of the body. ATP molecules can diffuse in the area where as active process occurs and they drive chemical energy by the breaking of phosphodiester bond.
