← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome limits synchronous firefly displays when air temperature drops?
A)Reduced enzymatic reaction rates✓
B)Increased oxygen availability
C)Enhanced luciferin concentration
D)Amplified neural signal synchrony
💡 Explanation
Lower temperature reduces bioluminescence because temperature-dependent kinetics impact enzymatic reaction rates, therefore diminishing light production. This inhibits the synchrony mechanism, rather than enhancing other factors like luciferin concentration within the Photuris' light organs at cooler temperatures.
