Detailed explanation-1: -Bioluminescence is used by living things to hunt prey, defend against predators, find mates, and execute other vital activities. Some species luminesce to confuse attackers. Many species of squid, for instance, flash to startle predators, such as fish.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some fish dangle a lighted lure in front of their mouths to attract prey, while some squid shoot out bioluminescent liquid, instead of ink, to confuse their predators. Worms and tiny crustaceans also use bioluminescence to attract mates.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animals control when they light up by controlling the movement of oxygen into cells containing luciferin and luciferase. Not all animals make their own luciferin or luciferase. Some get these molecules by eating other bioluminescent organisms.
