Study Notes
- Some deeper ocean creatures use bioluminescence, which is light created by a chemical reaction inside a living organism, to attract prey in the dark depths of the ocean.
- Bioluminescence is used to make the silhouette of an animal harder to see.
- Some animals also use bioluminescence to communicate.
- Examples: flashlight fish and angler fish use bioluminescence.
- Angler fish and flashlight fish are luminous bacteria living within their bodies.
