Bioluminescence Chemical reaction

Shruti Agrawal - 046

In early evolution, O2 was toxic. Some

organisms were able to convert it to a nontoxic substance, which had the tendency to produce photons of light. This may have had a selective advantage to some organisms.

Not found in freshwater organisms.

They can control biolum intensity by controlling blood supply to light organ (i.e., control the amt of O2 -- O2 decreases light intensity decreases)
