Bioluminescence Some species of dinoflagellate (a type of unicellular plankton) can produce light as the result of biochemical reactions within the cell. This light is an example of bioluminescence. It is found that bioluminescence in dinoflagellates can be triggered by deformation of the cell surface with a pressure as low as one dyne (10^−5N) per square centimeter.
