Question 1 of 30👑 VIP
Read the following passage and answer the question below. 'The coral reef ecosystem, often called the 'rainforest of the sea,' supports approximately 25% of all marine species despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor. Rising ocean temperatures caused by climate change lead to coral bleaching — a process in which corals expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing the corals to turn white. Without these algae, corals lose their primary food source and become highly vulnerable to disease. Scientists estimate that up to 50% of the world's coral reefs have already been lost.' Based on the passage, what is the PRIMARY reason coral bleaching makes corals vulnerable?
