8Passage 2: Bioluminescence in the Gulf of Mexico If you walk along the beaches of Grand Isle, Louisiana, on a clear summer night, you might notice a mysterious blue glow glowing in the breaking waves. This magical light is produced by microscopic organisms called dinoflagellates. When waves crash or swimmers disturb the water, these tiny sea creatures emit short flashes of light through a chemical process called bioluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs when a molecule called luciferin reacts with oxygen, catalyzed by an enzyme named luciferase. Marine animals use bioluminescence for several vital reasons. Some fish use light to attract prey in the pitch-black deep ocean. Others use bright flashes to startle predators, giving them a brief moment to escape. In the Gulf of Mexico, bioluminescent plankton serve as a natural defense system, illuminating predators so larger hunters will spot them. What is the central idea of Passage 2?
