What is the difference between chemiluminescence and bioluminescence?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Chemiluminescence deals with the creation of light through the use of artificial chemical reagents while bio-luminescence deals with chemicals made by an organism for the purpose of giving off light.
Imagine a glow-stick: This is an example of chemiluminescence.
Compare that to a lightning bug (also known as a firefly) or a cuttlefish.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using chemiluminescence?
The phenomenon of chemiluminescence is largely used in analytical chemistry.
What is the chemical equation for bioluminescence?
The chemical formula for luminol is C8H7N3O2
Why is chemiluminescence also called cold light?
This light bulb does not produce heat and that is why it is given that name

What is the difference between 'collenchyma' and 'chlorenchyma'?
Difference between collenchyma and chlorenchyma
What is the definition of the word chemiluminescence?
Chemiluminescence is produced by a chemical reaction that emits light, but no significant quantities of heat. An example of chemiluminescence are the popular glow sticks. This differs from fireflies, which get their glow instead from bioluminescence.
What happens to energy when it is released during a chemical reaction?
This energy can be transformed in heat, light (chemiluminescence, bioluminescence), rarely in sounds etc.
What is a simple definition for these 8 different light sources and an example for each Incandescence Chemiluminescence Triboluminescence Electric discharge Florescence and 3 more B?
the 3 other ones are bioluminescence, phosphorescence and electroluminescence
What are some of the different types of luminescence?
Bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, crystalloluminescence, electroluminescence, photoluminesce and mechanoluminescence are all different types of luminescence. The terms are about different luminescence provenience, in the above other, biological, chemical, crystal, electrical, photo and mechanical.
What are the three main colors of bioluminescence?
bioluminescence
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using chemiluminescence?
The phenomenon of chemiluminescence is largely used in analytical chemistry.
What are disadvantages of chemiluminescence?
it is toxic
How could humans make use of bioluminescence?
There are uses for Bioluminescence that apply to humans. Luciferase can be produced in a lab and used to help forensic investigators find blood, help researchers study diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's, help doctor's spot abnormalities and other infectious diseases. It has also been suggested that bioluminescence can be used to create environmentally friendly lights and the U.S Military recently invested money into bioluminescence research to make environmentally friendly helicopter landing indicators that won't get blown away and security systems to tell the difference between friendlies and enemies. Even humans give off traces of bioluminescence (about 1000 times weaker than the human eye can see) we are our brightest in the afternoon and dimmest in the evening.
What three substances are needed for bioluminescence to occur?
Luciferin, and enzyme called luciferase. Bioluminescence does not occur in the absence of oxygen.
What is chemiluminesence?
Chemiluminescence is the name of a system of glowing. Example- the name of the system on how glow sticks glow is called chemiluminescence. But in living things, such as fireflies it is called luminesence.
The light produced by bioluminescence uses the energy from?
The light produced by bioluminescence uses the energy from a living organism. Bioluminescence occurs in marine animals, such as loose-jawed fish of the genus Tomopteris; bioluminescence also occurs in land animals, such as the glow worm and the firefly.
What energy is used from bioluminescence?
Bioluminescence is a chemical energy that is released by some living organisms. Many fish that live in the deep ocean create this kind of light. Fireflies are another well-known example of bioluminescence.
