Detailed explanation-1: -Bioluminescence is light produced by a chemical reaction within a living organism. Bioluminescence is a type of chemiluminescence, which is simply the term for a chemical reaction where light is produced. (Bioluminescence is chemiluminescence that takes place inside a living organism.)

Detailed explanation-2: -Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. Bioluminescent creatures are found throughout marine habitats, from the ocean surface to the deep seafloor.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bioluminescence results from a chemical reaction (chemiluminescence) in which the conversion of chemical energy to radiant energy is direct and virtually 100 percent efficient; i.e., very little heat is given off in the process. For that reason, the emission is called cold light or luminescence.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bioluminescence is a 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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
