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 =)

Can scorpions see in ultraviolet light?
No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.
What chemical makes scorpions glow under UV light?
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.

Does a pn junction diode emit light?
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?
Why does the filament of a lightbulb glow while the connecting wires do not?
they glow
What are the genes on the pVIB plasmid?
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!
What makes bacteria glow green?
light
How can scientists use plastids to transfer characteristics from one organism to another?
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.
Why do things glow in the dark?
they absorb light from before and then when it is dark they glow the absorbed light
What type of light do glow sticks react to?
Glow sticks are a chemical light.
Does the tube light glow with out starter and choke?
it will not glow
What does the noctiluca look like?
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.
How do planets glow?
They don't glow. They reflect the light from the sun.
What was page 14-15 about in Cold Light by Anita Sitarski?
it was about the HS kids who put bacteria on the walls and watched it glow in 3 days....have you read it before???
What three minerals glow under ultraviolet light and what is that glow called?
Some minerals that glow under ultraviolet light are scheelite, amber, halite.
Does a planet glow?
No. planets do not glow, they reflect light, like the moon does. The moon does not glow by itself. the light from the sun hits it and reflects and that light is the light we see comign from the moon. The other planets also do this likewise.
What would make a plant glow underwater?
Bacteria and sunlight.
