Which risk to coral vitality increases when phosphate levels acutely spike?

💡 Explanation

Zooxanthellae populations decrease through exocytosis because phosphate inhibits nutrient transport pathways, which creates reactive oxygen species, therefore coral bleaching escalates exponentially rather than being stable because the established symbiotic mechanism now weakens.
