Study Notes
Bioluminescence
- Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by living organisms.
- This process uses a type of chemical reaction called chemiluminescence.
- The light emitted by bioluminescent organisms can range in color from red, green, yellow, and white.
- In some animals, the light is produced by bacteria called Vibrio.
- Bioluminescence is a chemical process by which an organism produces light energy.
Phosphorescence
- Phosphorescence is a process where energy is released in the form of light.
