Predicting Interactions in Ecosystems There is a type of algae that lives in the cells of corals. Predict what will happen to the algae and corals it
These algae process carbon through photosynthesis and global warming continues.
pass it on to corals in the form of glucose, a sugar that
provides the energy corals need to survive and function
Corals ofter protection for the algae and also produce
wastes that the algae need for photosynthesis
Warmer water temperatures caused by global warming
disrupt photosynthesis in the algae, causing a poisonous
build-up that threatens corals. This causes corals to force
the algae out of their cells.
