Natural Phenomenon

Bioluminescence

Hi guys!!!!! Well when im googling, I found something cool. This “ something cool” is a natural phenomenon. Guess what it is?

Well, this something cool is called bioluminescence. Mmmmm.... its not cool right if we look this cool thing like the picture above. So, if they are together they will be like this

This is called bioluminescene wave. Yeah its a very very very extraordinary cool wave. Why? Because it is glow in the dark wave, cool isnt it? This wave can glow in the dark because of a million (maybe more) dinoflagellata in it. Right now You must be wondering right, What is bioluminescene? (YAY....... ITS BIOLOGY TIME -_____-)

When chemoluminescence takes place in a living organism, the process is termed bioluminescence. Increasingly, scientists are taking our knowledge of bioluminescence, particularly in marine creatures, and finding new applications in chemistry, genetics, ecology and medicine.(actually i confuse when first time i red it) so bioluminescene isn’t a creature but a mechanical reaction in a few of living things that cause this living thing glow in the dark

And we could see this bioluminescene in this creature: (Guess what it is :D)

Wooo cool isn’t it? Oh yes... the first picture is a squid, second its a jellyfish, and the last is a mushroom. (they’re look like creature from Avatar film. Heh i'm correct, right? .-.). Not only sea creature and mushroom who can do this bioluminescene. But the railroad worm’s and don't forget...... the fireflies :O (bioluminescene can glow in 2 different colors at once like The railroad worm’s bellow)

(AND MORE COMPLICATED BIOLOGY AGAIN......)

There are a number of lower species of animal, algae, fungi, and bacteria with bioluminescent properties. Fungi and bacteria tend to emit a continuous glow when the process is triggered. In contrast, algae and animal species emit a light that flashes.

Insects, scorpions, and marine creatures (such as jellyfish, squid, and deep-sea fish) use bioluminescence. In fact, it is estimated that up to 90% of deep-sea creatures produce some form of bioluminescence. Because the red end of the visible light spectrum is absorbed before reaching the deep sea, most of the light emitted is blue and green. However, there are species that emit red and infrared light, and one genus has been found to emit yellow bioluminescence.

The organs responsible for emitting bioluminescence in these creatures are known as photophores.

So bioluminescene have a main use. And the main use are camouflage, attraction, repulsion, communication (between bacteria), and illumination. Mmmm... thats cool. Thats all about the bioluminescene phenomenon in this world. Thanks for reding this (especially for the biology time). Byeeeee!!!!!
