Which functional loss affects coral bleaching during hyperthermia?

💡 Explanation

Coral bleaching involves the expulsion of endosymbiotic zooxanthellae when corals experience heat stress; this is triggered because heat suppresses their photosynthetic pigment synthesis, therefore zooxanthellae lose capacity to support the coral rather than increasing oxygen or disrupting coral metabolism.
