Bioluminescence

Bioluminescence is the emission of light by living organisms resulting from a chemical reaction involving luciferin and luciferase. This phenomenon is widespread among marine species, including bacteria, algae, jellyfish, and fish, and also occurs in terrestrial organisms like fireflies and certain fungi.

Complex Carbohydrates

Complex carbohydrates are polysaccharides composed of long chains of sugar molecules, found in foods such as whole grains, legumes, and vegetables. They provide a sustained energy release and are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to overall health.
