Firefly luciferase is the light-emitting enzyme responsible for the bioluminescence of fireflies and some types of beetles. This process occurs in specialized light-emitting organs, usually on a firefly's lower abdomen. The enzyme catalyses the firefly chemical luciferin, by binding to it and spending up the chemical reaction that combines oxygen molecules to produce oxyluciferin. Besides, oxygen this requires ATP. Because of the requirement of ATP, firefly luciferases have been used extensively in biotechnology. How do the enzymes speed up the chemical reactions and produce bioluminescent light?

Which of the following best describes the expensive tissue hypothesis? brains require more energy, so the gut had to be reduced, and larger brains and tool use led to higher quality diets. increasing body size means that homo neanderthalensis had to include more fat in its diet. brains require more energy, so the gut had to be reduced as brains got bigger. brains require more fat, so the gastrointestinal viscera (gut) had to expand, and hands were needed to acquire more food.
