Lightning bugs use bioluminescence to flash light to attract mates or prey. The rate of their flashes depends on the temperature. The average rate is 3.4 flashes every 10.0 seconds at 29 °C, and at 15 °C, the average rate falls to 20 flashes every 10 seconds. Calculate the activation energy for the flashing process. (Hint the ratio of the rates is equal to the ratio of the rate constants) Page 2 of 6
