{"id":38,"count":4,"description":"Bioluminescence is an adaptation used by many deep sea organisms.  In the deep ocean light sensing organs are the predominant form of communication and many organisms possess bioluminescent organs of some kind. Bioluminescence is used as part of camouflage for predation tactic or as means of escape from predators.  \r\nThe bioluminescent light is created by bacteria.  The organisms have a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria -- providing it with food. The bacteria provides the organism with the light used for camouflage, predation and escape. The bioluminescent light from the bacteria is produced by a reaction between the luciferin substrate and luciferase enzyme.","link":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/animatingthesea-s20\/category\/connections\/predator-prey\/bioluminescence\/","name":"Bioluminescence","slug":"bioluminescence","taxonomy":"category","parent":37,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/animatingthesea-s20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/38"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/animatingthesea-s20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/animatingthesea-s20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/animatingthesea-s20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/37"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/animatingthesea-s20\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
