In plants and algae, the enzyme RUBISCO helps with photosynthesis.
The ability to produce heat and light in a chemical reaction is called combustion. It is a type of exothermic reaction where energy is released in the form of heat and light.
They are used to produce sugar during the dark reaction
Chemical reactions can produce heat and energy but not all chemical reactions produce them. Exothermic reactions produce heat and energy (possibly in the form of photons/light), while endothermic reaction absorb them.
There are no glucose molecules produced in the light reaction. The light reaction produces ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose from CO2.
The light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis requires light energy, water, and ADP + Pi to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The light-independent reaction, or the Calvin Cycle, does not directly require light but uses the products of the light-dependent reaction (ATP and NADPH) along with carbon dioxide to produce glucose.
In this process, luciferase functions as an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between luciferin and oxygen to produce light. This reaction is known as bioluminescence and is commonly seen in fireflies, certain deep-sea organisms, and other bioluminescent species. Luciferase helps to facilitate the energy release by converting chemical energy into light energy.
The chemical is called luciferin. Fireflies possess an enzyme called luciferase that interacts with luciferin to produce light through a reaction called bioluminescence.
Acetyle co enzyme
Light production in fireflies is due to a type of chemical reaction called bioluminescence. This process occurs in specialised light-emitting organs, usually on a firefly's lower abdomen. The enzyme luciferase acts on the luciferin, in the presence of magnesium ions, ATP, and oxygen to produce light.
Fireflies use a chemical reaction to produce light. It is called bioluminescence. They produce chemicals called luciferin (a pigment) and luciferase (an enzyme) during bioluminescence. Luciferin reacts with oxygen to produce the light, while luciferase acts as a catalyst which speeds up the process.
Light reaction is not produced by chlorophyll .
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.

The ability to produce heat and light in a chemical reaction is called combustion. It is a type of exothermic reaction where energy is released in the form of heat and light.
Bioluminescence occurs in certain organisms because they have the ability to produce light through a chemical reaction involving luciferin and an enzyme called luciferase. This adaptation helps these organisms attract prey, communicate, or defend themselves in the dark depths of the ocean where sunlight does not penetrate.
It cannot occur in the dark. It contains an enzyme called rubisco which is a light-activated enzyme. Also the Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy produced in the light reactions, and the light reactions need sunlight energy in order to produce the energy needed in the Calvin cycle. Hope that helps :)
Yes, fireflies can control their light. They produce light through a chemical reaction in their bodies, primarily in their lower abdomen, where luciferin reacts with oxygen, catalyzed by the enzyme luciferase. Fireflies can regulate the intensity and duration of their light by controlling the amount of oxygen and luciferin they use during this reaction. This ability allows them to communicate with potential mates and deter predators.
