Why do phytoplankton cells have different parts? Why do aquatic plants like phytoplankton tend to be smaller? How does marine phytoplankton respond to marine input? Why do marine organisms use bioluminescence? Are dinoflagellates phytoplankton or zooplankton?
Why do marine organisms use bioluminescence? Are coral polyps a keystone species? What is the purpose of the tentacles of coral polyps? Why does phytoplankton live in the photic zone? Why are nautiloids members of the Mollusca phylum?
Professor:Well.bioluminescence serves a number of functions.Most aquatic organisms use it for communication and for attracting prey.But jellyfish usually use it as a defense against predators.Some jellyfish produce bright flashes of light that confuse predators, to, uh, to startle them.But jellyfis...
Rudolph could use something many organisms use on Earth in order to create natural light, a neat little scientific trick called bioluminescence. Some animals can make their own light by mixing certain chemical compounds together to produce a glow. The reasons vary; fireflies, for instance, flash ...
'occult cancer'. We review how normal tissue homeostasis and architecture inhibit progression of cancer and how changes in the microenvironment can shift the balance of these signals to the procancerous state. We also include a discussion of how this information is being tailored for clinical use...

Scientists suspect that this kind of behavior has something to do with how these sea creatures attract mates. SEE ALSO: Why glowing, bioluminescent waves have reappeared in California This process is somewhat different from bioluminescence. Bioluminescent organisms glow because of internal chemical ...
Though it looks similar in the light, these snowy particles are not made of frozen water, but of things both alive and dead: tiny, decomposing organisms (plankton), their waste, collections of bacteria, and balls of slime holding this stuff together. It's all gradually sinking to the ...
