GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Bioluminescence is a form of chemiluminescence, which is the production of visible light by a chemical reaction. When this kind of reaction occurs in living organisms, the process is called bioluminescence. It is familiar to most of us as the process that causes fireflies to glow.

Detailed explanation-2: -All bioluminescent organisms have in common that the reaction of a “luciferin” and oxygen is catalyzed by a luciferase to produce light.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bioluminescence is the ability of living organisms to create their own light, using a chemical reaction. On land, the phenomenon of bioluminescence is rare-limited to fireflies, some mushrooms, glowworms, and a few other organisms. But in the ocean, bioluminescent animals create an underwater light show.
