Answer:

All of the choices are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When a substance emits light which is not a result of heat, then such a spontaneous emission fo light is known as luminescence.
  • Several chemical reactions or electrical energy can lead to the production of luminescence by organisms.
  • The enzyme that is responsible for the production of bioluminescence by the organism is luciferase and it is capable of producing luminescence by catalyzing oxido-reductive processes.
  • Luminescence is also produced in bacteria, and it is often controlled by the process of quorum sensing.
