Surprising phenomenon Bashny.Net

Not only the power of man to create beautiful objects glow in the dark - in nature there are living organisms that are able to emit a glow, thus becoming visible in the dark. This phenomenon is called "bioluminescence" is observed in a variety of living beings, bacteria, fungi and some animal species. I propose to see how it looks in nature.




Glow-in-the dark organisms use variations of chemical reactions, which include at least three components: the enzyme luciferase, oxygen, and organic molecules. Has a high energy molecule charge created during the reaction releases energy in the form of light.
