Explain the chemical reaction of The chemical reaction is called bioluminescence.
lightning bugs Proteins regulate, produce, and degrade the light-
emitting compound called luciferin. Luciferin, when
acted upon by a protein, glows as bugs move. This
chemical reaction is regulated by the protein
(enzyme) called luciferase.
