How would acidification of seawater affect marine organisms?
a. acidification would decrease dissolved carbonate concentrations and hinder growth of corals and shell-building animals.
b. acidification would increase dissolved bicarbonate concentrations, and cause increased calcification of corals and shellfish.
c. acidification would decrease dissolved carbonate concentrations and promote faster growth of corals and shell-building animals.
