    Glow worms control their luminescence by regulating the oxygen flow to the light-producing membranes that contain luciferin. This light results from a chemical reaction facilitated by the enzyme luciferase, with its specific structure influenced by the worm's genetic makeup, leading to minor variations in the light among individuals (3).
