Bioluminescence occurs through a chemical reaction that produces light energy within an organism's body. For a reaction to occur, a species must contain luciferin, a molecule that, when it reacts with oxygen, produces light. Many organisms also produce the catalyst luciferase, which helps to speed up the reaction.

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

Bioluminescence is an amazing natural phenomenon in which an organism produces and emits light due to a chemical reaction where the chemical energy is converted into light energy. The sparkle of fireflies on a summer night is produced as a result of a chemical reaction in their glowing abdomens. Bioluminescence occurs due to a chemoluminescence reaction, where the enzyme luciferase catalyses the pigment luciferin. Energy is utilized in most of the reactions. The reaction takes place inside or outside the cell. Many organisms produce luciferase which helps them to accelerate the rate of reaction. Some organisms bind oxygen with luciferin in a photoprotein. It lights up the moment some ion is present.

Examples include :-

• Dragonfish

• Dinoflagellates

• Glow-worm

• Fungi

• Fire-flies

In short : It refers to the light emitted by organisms such as glow-worms and deep-sea fish.
