When fireflies light up, they are producing a chemical reaction within their bodies called bioluminescence. This production of light is the result of oxygen combining with calcium and the chemicals adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and luciferin in the presence of the enzyme luciferase. Without the bioluminescent enzyme luciferase, the light could not be produced.

From what forms of energy is the light produced by fireflies converted?

When we switch on the light electrical energy is converted into light energy. But when we switch off the light the produced light disappears. In which energy the produced light energy is converted to?
The produced disappears whether you switch it off or not - otherwise it would get brighter and brighter. In a closed room, the light would eventually be absorbed, and converted to heat. Outdoors, the light may go into outer space, going on and on and on... at a very high speed known as the "speed of light". In general, bet on heat. Light turns into heat.
Specifically what types of energy produced during photosynthesis are useful to animals as food?
Chemical energy is produced. Actually light energy is converted
What energy gives off lights?
Electrical energy can be converted to light. In addition, nuclear energy as in a nuclear weapon will give off a blinding flash of light. Also, using fireflies as an example, chemical reactions can also give off light energy.
When a lightbulb is lit electrical energy is changed into light energy and?
Some of the electrical energy is converted into light energy, while the rest is converted into heat energy. The light energy produced is a result of the light bulb’s filament getting hot enough to emit visible light.
Why does a non energy saving light bulb give off more heat than an energy saving light bulb?
Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.
Do fireflies mix oxygen with luciferin to produce light?
Yes, the also use ATP and luciferase which catalyzes this oxidation reaction. This reaction produces light and 100% of the energy produced by this reaction is released as light.
Which device converts chemical potential energy into light?
A light-emitting diode (LED) converts electrical energy into light, not chemical potential energy. Chemical potential energy can be converted into light through a chemical reaction in a process known as chemiluminescence, commonly seen in glow sticks and fireflies.
Why do you see different patterns of light produced by fireflies?
When you see different colors on fireflies it means they are mating. it also telling you if they are male or female.
When a match is burned chemical energy is converted to thermal energy and what other kind of energy?
When a match is burned, chemical energy is converted into thermal energy and light energy. The heat produced by the burning match causes the particles to emit light, resulting in a visible flame.
What forms of energy are tranferred from battery to light bulb?
The forms of energy transferred from a battery to a light bulb are chemical energy (stored in the battery) being converted to electrical energy (flowing through the wires) and then to light energy and heat energy (produced by the light bulb).
Light energy from the sun is converted by plants into?
Light energy from the sun is converted by plants into chemical energy.
