This reaction takes place when a special enzyme and a special protein inside the cells are exposed to oxygen and water at a temperature of about 75 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). The result is energy that gives off light and creates patches of bioluminescent tissue, photophores, which are kidney-shaped organs arranged in distinct groups on the organism."

Why does Scotch Tape glow in the dark?
As far as I know scotch tape doesn't truly "glow" in the dark without movement. What it does do is release light, AND x-rays, when pulled apart. There are some things that are still unknown about this process, but the basic reasoning is this.Whenever a bond is broken energy is released. Scotch tape forms a type of chemical interaction (Van der Waals) with the surface it is bound to, and when you break this by pulling on it some of these connections are broken. Every so often it has the right strength to cause the release of quanta in the right spectrum to cause visible light.http://www.nature.com/news/2008/081022/full/news.2008.1185.htmlhttp://www.ehow.com/how-does_4744732_tape-stick.html
