  2. Melanin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin

    Eumelanin is an effective absorbent of light; the pigment is able to dissipate over 99.9% of absorbed UV radiation. [10] Because of this property, eumelanin is thought to protect skin cells from UVA and UVB radiation damage, reducing the risk of folate depletion and dermal degradation.

    Demonstration of the effect of sunscreen. The left image is a regular photograph of his face; the right image is of reflected UV light. The man's face has sunscreen on his right side only. It appears darker because the sunscreen absorbs the UV light. Medical organizations recommend that patients protect themselves from UV radiation by using ...

  4. Biological pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pigment

    All biological pigments selectively absorb certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others. [4] [5] The principal pigments responsible are: Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in plants; it is a chlorin that absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light while reflecting a majority of green. It is the presence and relative abundance of ...

  5. UV coloration in flowers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_coloration_in_flowers

    A common phenotype of UV coloration is the “bulls-eye” pattern where a flower reflects UV light at the ends of the petals and absorbs UV light in the center. [4] This acts as a guide for pollinators to locate and find pollen. [4] Other flowers add the contrast between their reproductive parts (anthers and pistils) and their petals. [7]

  6. Lawsone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsone

    Lawsone strongly absorbs UV light, and aqueous extracts can be effective sunless tanning agents and sunscreens. Lawsone is a 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative, an analog of hydroxyquinone containing one additional ring. Lawsone isolation from Lawsonia inermis can be difficult due to its easily biodegradable nature. Isolation involves four steps:

  7. Photodissociation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodissociation

    Photodissociation, photolysis, photodecomposition, or photofragmentation is a chemical reaction in which molecules of a chemical compound are broken down by absorption of light or photons. It is defined as the interaction of one or more photons with one target molecule that dissociates into two fragments.

  8. Pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigment

    This pigment absorbs red and green light, but reflects blue—giving the substance a blue-colored appearance. Like all materials, the color of pigments arises because they absorb only certain wavelengths of visible light. The bonding properties of the material determine the wavelength and efficiency of light absorption. [5]

  9. Photomorphogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomorphogenesis

    Phytochrome is the only known photoreceptor that absorbs light in the red/far red spectrum of light (600-750 nm) specifically and only for photosensory purposes. [1] Phytochromes are proteins with a light absorbing pigment attached called a chromophore. The chromophore is a linear tetrapyrrole called phytochromobilin. [7]
