What is bioluminescence?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 14 May, 2015, 03:03: PM
Expert Answer
The emission of light from living organisms like plants and animals is called bioluminescence.
Example: jugnu (or a glow worm) and a firefly.
It occurs from a chemical reaction in which chemical energy is converted into light energy.
The name is originated from the Greek word “bios” for “living” and the Latin word “lumen” foe “light”.
