The squid in this photograph contains a colony of Vibrio fischeri bacteria, which only luminesce while living within a squid. How is this behavior beneficial for V. fischeri bacteria?



a. Bioluminescent squid are more visible to free-floating V. fisheri bacteria, allowing them to join the colony.
b. Bioluminescent squid attract specific predators, allowing V. fischeri colonies to spread more rapidly.
c. Bioluminescent squid are less likely to be consumed by predators, protecting V. fischeri’s source of food.
d. Bioluminescence within squid provides ample light for V. fischeri to synthesize glucose via photosynthesis.
