No, it's heterotroph (eats others). Does not do photosynthesis.

What type of protozoa are bioluminescent?

Bioluminescent protozoa primarily belong to the group known as dinoflagellates. These single-celled organisms are often found in marine environments and are known for their ability to produce light through biochemical reactions. Species such as Pyrocystis fusiformis and Noctiluca scintillans are examples of bioluminescent dinoflagellates that can create spectacular glowing displays in water, particularly when disturbed. This bioluminescence serves various ecological purposes, including predator deterrence and communication.


What does the noctiluca look like?

look up the evolution of bioluminescence. it basically states that certain one celled creatures/bacteria that glow do it because light is released out into the water when the noctiluca and plankton perform anarobic respiration.
