the plasmid contains a certain gene, which codes for the "Green Flourescent Protein." So you put the plasmid in the bacteria, the plasmid starts making that protein in the bacteria, and boom you've got glowing bacteria. works for bunnies and monkeys too, apparently =)
No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.
The reason why scorpions glow under black light or commonly known as ultra-violent light is because their bodies contain a chemical called phosphate which glows under it.

I don't think that the pn junction diode can emit light. Maybe it does, but a 'plastic' that covering the diode makes the light cannot be seen. Besides, you won't see it glow as it connect to the power source, right?
they glow
light
It contains a gene for luciferase, a Lux gene (the enzyme that catalyzes the light-emitting reaction) and genes for enzymes which produce the luciferins (which are the substrates for the light-emitting reaction.). This causes bacterial cells to glow!
A plasmid is a circular double stranded DNA usually found in bacteria. Most of them do not have specific functions and altering them does not hamper the bacteria possesing them. A gene of interest can be annealed to this plasmid so as to make the concerned bacteria produce a particular product. Since the bacteria can now produce a new product, the plasmid has been used to alter the characteristics of the organism.
Cat urine contains phosphorus, which glows under ultraviolet light, such as a black light. This is why cat pee appears to glow when exposed to a black light.
Yes, glow-in-the-dark nails are real. They are created using glow-in-the-dark nail polish, which contains phosphors that emit light when charged with UV light. These nails can glow for several hours in the dark after being exposed to light.
Glow slime contains a phosphorescent or fluorescent additive that absorbs light energy and then releases it slowly, creating a glowing effect. The additive in the slime absorbs and stores energy from light sources, such as UV light, and emits this energy as visible light.
A glow stick contains chemical energy that is converted into light energy. When the inner vial is broken, the chemicals inside react to produce light without generating heat.
Lemon juice contains compounds called fluorescent molecules that can absorb ultraviolet light from a black light and re-emit it as visible light, causing the juice to glow. This phenomenon is known as fluorescence and is a common property of certain substances.
Petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline, contains a small amount of phosphor, a substance that can emit light when energized. This phosphor can absorb light energy during the day and then emit it as a faint glow in the dark.
they absorb light from before and then when it is dark they glow the absorbed light
Glow sticks contain a chemical solution that undergoes a chemical reaction when mixed with another chemical found in the stick. This reaction releases energy in the form of light, producing the glow. The stick also contains a fluorescent dye that helps to create the different colors we see.
The answer is a Black light and Tonic Water. Tonic water contains a chemical called quinine which makes it glow bright blue when the water is exposed to black light.You take a bowl and put water or Tonic water just in case you want to drink it.Then you put highlighter ink in the water then stir the ink in the water. It looks kinda weird, but then you put the black light over it and it GLOWS.
