What physical characteristic did the plantlike Noctilucaand animallike Trypanosoma gambienese have in common?
Noctiluca bioluminescence is produced through a chemical reaction that occurs within the organism. This reaction involves the enzyme luciferase and a light-emitting molecule called luciferin, which together create the characteristic blue-green light seen in Noctiluca. This bioluminescent light is believed to help deter predators or attract prey.
Pipiza noctiluca was created in 1758.
Lampyris noctiluca was created in 1767.

dinoflagellates
Noctiluca is a dinoflagellate in the Domain Eukaryota, Superphylum Alveolata, Phylum Dinoflagellata, in the class Noctiluciphyceae, and in the order Noctilucales.
Noctiluca scintillans belongs to the kingdom Protista. It is a bioluminescent planktonic species that can be found in marine environments around the world.

It is due to reproduction
Pelagia Noctiluca
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.
