← Nature & AnimalsWhich metabolic benefit results when ocean acidification increases?
A)Coral calcification accelerates exponentially
B)Zooxanthellae photosynthetic output declines severely✓
C)Algal blooms outcompete existing corals
D)Fish populations experience rapid reproduction
💡 Explanation
Increased acidity from ocean acidification damages zooxanthellae's Photosynthetic Efficiency, therefore, algae provide less energy to the coral polyp limiting coral growth or even inducing bleaching, rather than enhancing calcification or benefiting other species.
