Sea of stars

When I said "Sea of ​Stars", I did not mean the video game, but something else. I am talking about a natural phenomenon with the same name.AA

A biological phenomenon occurs in an ocean or sea, which appears like "a sea" full of shiny stars.AA

 What is this phenomenon? How it happen? and crested by What?; many questions about this strange and wonderful phenomenon, And This is what we are about to find out .AA

This phenomenon creating marine microscopes beings called phytoplankton, These beings are the ones that shining with blue light by a process called Bioluminescence .AA

What is this process? 

is a process of chemical reactions occur inside the phytoplankton these reactions make them shining with a blue flashing light, the most common species is called Dinoflagellates .AA

How it occurs? 

A) the tides of the ocean produce electrical impulses, these pulses across inside the body of phytoplankton and moving toward certain compartment full of the proton which is found inside some organs

B) the channels of the sensitive voltage proton ion will open and the proton will spurt into the illuminating unit inside dinoflagellates Which called scintillant .

C) then PH will vary and series of chemical reactions will start inside the cytoplasm .AA

D)these reactions will stimulate a certain protein called Luciferase, this protein will activate with luciferin and reacting together in the presence of Oxygen and creating the neon blue light Which makes these beings flashing in this Beautiful and amazing phenomenon .A

 

- This phenomenon occurs in many places like Vaadhoo in the Maldives, The coast of Leucadia in California, and Lakshadweep Island in India; But scientists did not know a specific time for its creation  .AAA

 

- But before you think about going to any of these places and swimming in a sea of ​​stars, you have to know the other side of these beautiful creatures; Some of them produce toxins harmful to humans and all other beings .AA
The question here is this phenomenon occurs in other organisms or not and how would be like !! AA

I am looking forward to knowing too .A
