Question

The production of light by living beings is known as
a. Bio-luminescence
b. Bio-lighting
c. Bio-fluorescence

Answer 1

Bio-luminescence is the answer

Answer 2

The answer to this question is an option a: Bio-luminescence.

• Certain species of living organisms produce light.
• This light is produced as a result of a chemical process inside the body caused by oxidation.
• Bio-luminescence refers to the production and emission of light seen in living organisms from the term "bio". Fireflies, for example, emit bioluminescence.
• Bio lighting is an incorrect term for this phenomenon.
• Bio-fluorescence is incorrect here because it is the phenomenon of emitting light which is absorbed from other sources of light.
• Hence, the production of light, in this case, is called bio-luminescence.
