• Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by living organisms.
• Biohazard refers to a biological substance that poses a threat to the health of living organisms.
• Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of substances within an organism, but biomagnification specifically deals with the increase in concentration as it moves up the food chain.
