bioluminescence

Essay topics:

bioluminescence

The article is about bioluminescence, the ability to illuminate used by creatures for three main purposes. The lecturer elaborates on the ideas mentioned in the reading passage and provides additional examples to support them.

In the reading, the author begins by stating that bioluminescence is a means of communication. This specific argument is supported by the lecturer. He mentions that illuminating creatures could attract mates and exchange messages using light in the depth of the oceans.

Secondly, the author suggests that the main purpose could be hunting. The lecturer gives an additional example of such an approach and describes the behavior of the englifish that attracts prey by the light and then hunts for it.

Finally, another reason for having bioluminescence is that it could be the part of a defense mechanism. The professor in the listening passage agrees with this assumption. Moreover, he proves it with the example of bio? that uses the body illumination, when it is under attack by its direct predator, to attract bigger fishes that would hunt for smaller ones that imperil the bio' lives.
