Upon disruption from passing ships, which outcome follows stimulation of dinoflagellates?

💡 Explanation

Bioluminescence is triggered by mechanical force causing excitation of luciferin via luciferase, which emits light for defensive purposes that deter grazers; ship disturbance triggers this bioluminescent defense cascade, therefore light emission occurs, rather than altered photosynthesis processes.
