calcium-sensitive bioluminescence

Calcium-sensitive bioluminescence involves specialized organisms or cells that produce light in response to calcium ion levels. When calcium ions enter these cells, they trigger chemical reactions that emit visible light. This process allows organisms like certain marine animals or cells to signal changes in their environment, communicate, or attract prey or mates. Essentially, the presence of calcium acts as a switch that turns on the light production, enabling real-time visual responses to biological signals or environmental cues.
