UV-B Radiation and the Evolution of Polyphenolics | Ecology

After reading this article you will learn about the UV-B radiation and the evolution of Polyphenolics. Solar UV-B radiation is known to stimulate the en­zymes phenylalanine amonialyase (PAL) and chalcone synthase (CHS) and other branch-point en­zymes of the phenylpropanoid pathway (Fig. 17.3). PAL catalyzes the transformation of phenylalanine into transcinnamic acid, which may eventually lead to the formation of complex [...]

Do Ozone Holes Form Over the Arctic? | Ecology

Get the Answer of: Do Ozone Holes Form Over the Arctic? (a) The strato­spheric temperatures are seldom below—80°C due to frequent exchange of air masses with the mid-latitudes; (b) The Arctic air vortex usually dissipates in late winter before sunlight returns to initiate the ozone destruction. The differences between the two regions result in part from the larger land mass [...]
