(1.5 pts) THE MYSTERIOUS WORLD OF BIOLUMINESCENCE Deep in the dark ocean, an amazing light show takes place every day! Many sea creatures can create their own light through a process called bioluminescence. This natural wonder helps them survive in the darkest parts of the ocean, where sunlight cannot reach. The anglerfish is one of the most fascinating creatures using this light power. It has a special rod above its head that glows in the dark, like a fishing rod with a light! This light attracts smaller fish, which then become the anglerfish's dinner. Meanwhile, tiny jellyfish flash bright blue lights when touched – this helps scare away predators. The vampire squid has an even more incredible trick: when it feels threatened, it releases clouds of glowing blue mucus to confuse its enemies and escape! Scientists have discovered that 90% of deep-sea animals can produce light. Some use it to find mates, others to communicate with their own kind. In the Mariana Trench, Earth's deepest point at 11,000 meters, bioluminescent creatures create beautiful light patterns that help them survive in complete darkness. These amazing animals show us that nature has incredible ways of adapting to extreme conditions. 23. The anglerfish uses its glowing rod to catch food. 24.
