The biochemical emission of light by living organisms such as fireflies and deep-sea fishes,
  1. The biochemical emission of light by living organisms such as fireflies and deep-sea fishes

  2. The light emitted in such a way

  1. luminescence produced by physiological processes (as in the firefly)
  2. (bioluminescent) (of living organisms) emitting light; "fireflies are bioluminescent"
  3. Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. Its name is a hybrid word, originating from the Greek bios for "living" and the Latin lumen "light". ...
  4. (bioluminescent) Refers to organisms that emit light under certain conditions.
  5. A biochemical oxidative process that results in the release of energy as emitted light. Firefly luminescence, which requires the enzyme luciferase to catalyze a reaction between the substrate luciferin and molecular oxygen (in the presence of adenosine triphosphate), is a commonly employed ...
  6. Light produced by organisms from conversion of chemical to radiant energy.
  7. Light produced within an organism, where the excitation energy is supplied by a biochemical reaction rather than a light source. ...
  8. is chemiluminescence from living organisms.
  9. Bioluminescence is when an animal, like a firefly or deep sea fish, gives off its own light.
  10. the emission of visible light made by living organisms such as the firefly and various fish, fungi, and bacteria.
  11. The ability of a living organism to produce light.
  12. a luminescent process mediated by an enzyme or other biological system that causes an organism to glow
  13. is when light is emitted after the energy being absorbed is from a chemical reaction in a living organism. Jellyfish, coral, insects, fungi, and plants can all emit light through bioluminescence. Fireflies are a perfect example.
  14. Light emitted by a living organism, which may be related to its aura.  The rays, which may be invisible, can be seen using the photographic technique developed by Semyon Kirlian.
